Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
They will have calculated that the damage caused to their reputation by retaining the money will be less than the damage caused to their election campaign plans by being £10m short. They aren’t going to give it back. Simple as.

The benefits of your polling being in the toilet anyway!

Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
I would imagine there’s likely to be a Lord Hester of Horsforth (or Armley, where he was born) in the Dissolution Honours List later this year…

What a waste, 10 million quids worth of leaflets on a lost cause... ( unless the cause is an Honour as Hugh mentioned...) Still pricy, even for that.
Better than giving it back they could donate to a few worthwhile charities. A retirement bordello for ex Tory MPs maybe?

It already exists - it's on the other side of the Central Hall in the House of Commons...

Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
Given the voter base remaining to them, maybe they see messaging like "Sponsored By Racists" as a net positive?

To be fair, they are now two sides of the same coin.

That's correct, they've gone way too far to the left, to be even considered Conservative.

You keep saying this stuff as if to say if only they'd been more right wing this mess would never have happened but the fact is, for me at any rate, it would because for the last few years they've not given a toss about being conservative or liberal, they've only been concerned about the chumocracy where they and their fans do very nicely and everyone else pays for them, a third world junta could learn from this rabble, it's a party of *******s and enablers that hopefully will never recover from what they've done but you cling to your mantra if it helps you through, keep gripping it

Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
They're losing because they've screwed up.
I don't Britain is that ideological, maybe small-c conservative, and as long as you're somewhat on planet Earth then it's about your competence and what you'll do for them. It's not like the United States where people divide massively on some social issues like abortion or marriage. Even the role of the Government to provide services isn't really contested.
The Tories have screwed up the economy and the NHS.
