Tory Scum. The Conservatives have held the safe suburban London seat of Old Bexley and Sidcup in by-election. Their candidate, local councillor Louie French, won more than half the votes, with Labour's Daniel Francis second. Mr French paid tribute to the area's former MP, James Brokenshire, whose death from cancer in October triggered the contest. The Tories' majority has been cut from nearly 19,000 to 4,478, with a 10% swing to Labour. A 10% swing to Labour ...only 10%??? WTF do the Conservatives have to do to loose?? The Labour leadership really is a lost cause. The British are a lost cause. No matter how much the tories slash and burn and the social consequences are felt Britons seem fine with it. *shrugs* (And I do agree it is shocking that Labour are providing such an ineffective opposition - irrespective of how people vote most people can see why a strong opposition is needed.)

In more news the Scum have managed to push through their two-tier citizenship bill: inews.co.uk/news/nationality-and-borders-bill-what-priti-patel-immigration-plan-explained-1341687/ampAnd for those who wish to deny the Tories are racist and that this bill is not designed to bring in a race based two tier system of citizenship and identity: “ What have critics said about removing people’s citizenship? The i‘s Ian Dunt wrote: “The overall effect of this clause is simple. It is designed to prevent people from securing their right to appeal. This is supposedly guaranteed in the law and nothing in the new clause nullifies that. Instead, it makes it impossible by virtue of practical reality. “The people being stripped of their citizenship will very often only find out when they are trying to return to Britain. They are outside the country. And once you’re outside the country, it becomes infinitely more difficult to secure your appeal rights. “Sometimes the appeals process takes so long as to be useless. It might time-out before someone is even aware the action was taken. In nearly every case it makes it very difficult to secure evidence or instruct lawyers. “The Government has created a second-tier category of British citizenship, which applies predominantly to ethnic minorities.” The alleged numbers: “ Office of National Statistics data suggests that nearly six million people in England and Wales could be affected by the change, including two in every five people from non-white ethnic minorities compared to one in 20 white people. This figure includes almost 410,000 dual nationals born in the UK, as well as 5.2 million people born abroad. These 5.2 million people could potentially be stripped of their citizenship even where doing so would render them stateless.” (I also do not for one second believe this is only a risk to those who are active terror threats to the UK.) And people actually argue that it is problematic to refer to them as “Scum”?

Excellent idea. Can it be retrospective?

Anyone who still supports the Tories is either stupid or touched in the head. They are unquestionably the worst UK government in history, openly corrupt, don't give a sh*t for the British people, and are happy to be led by a man who abuses the traditional British system of government which, without a written constitution, depends on the decency of its members to ensure probity.

I'd vote tory tomorrow if there was an election because labour are far, far worse. The worst thing about the tories is their lurch to the left/wokeness.

Strength in depth. I think I'd want to see Truss as leader. Impressed by Badenoch too.

Parliament to go into recess early, suggested by the speaker.

Nothing's forever. Maybe it is time for new blood. Plenty of strength on depth in the Tory cabinet. Diverse too. I expect we'll give Liz Truss a go. We have no problem with women, you see.
