| Tugendhat is an idiot: Part 37 16:21 - Aug 13 with 571 views | DJR |
I challenge anyone to read the extracts from Tugendhat's leadership speech, a bit lower down the following link, and conclude he is intellectually coherent.
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2024/aug/13/conservative-leadership-co
Some highlights are the following.
After a lengthy passage listing everything he thinks is wrong with the modern UK, Tom Tugendhat finishes by describing it as “the greatest country on Earth”
I didn’t quite catch who it was, I think it was Christian Calgie of the Daily Express, who given the opportunity to ask a question of Tom Tugendhat, said:
"Mass immigration. Segregated communities. Lack of prison places. Weak justice for criminals. Importing identity politics from abroad. Looking at cracking down on freedom of speech. Collapsing social trust. This is just a shocking list of Tory failures, isn’t it?"
In a passage likely to draw a sharp response from the government, Conservative leadership hopeful Tom Tugendhat has accused the prime minister of “pretending” that he inherited full prisons and had to introduce an early release scheme.
In a marked contrast from shadow cabinet messaging during the recent riots in England and Northern Ireland, Conservative leadership hopeful Tom Tugendhat has accused the prime minister of failing the country in the last two weeks.
The BTL comments are worth reading, and this is my favourite.
"Further proof that the Tory party has an inexhaustible supply of idiots, bullsh*tters and batshi*t crazies." [Post edited 13 Aug 2024 16:33]

I haven’t read any of the article, but Tugendhat almost seemed a bit sensible for the Tories a couple of short years back. But like the rest of them, he is pandering to the predominantly white, elderly, right wing leaning Tory membership, who decide who the leader will be. Whilst they stick with that leadership voting system, they will never elect a leader with a more broad consensus who is more aligned with the centre ground. But in my view, feck em to an eternity in ever reducing opposition. |  |
