Tory Party Splitting and Mogg and Other Factions Publishing their Own Manifestos | Beastrabban\’s Weblog
Here’s some more fun from my brother, the Beast – and terrible news for the ghouls in the Tory Party:
Just found this story in today’s Guardian, ‘Tory turmoil as third of voters desert party and factions launch rival manifestos’ by Toby Helm and Michael Savage. It begins
‘The coalition of voters that delivered the Tories a big majority at the last election is crumbling, according to dramatic new evidence that the party is losing support in key battlegrounds across England.
The findings, revealed in a special poll of 2019 Tory voters for the Observer, comes as Rishi Sunak faces a series of competing and contradictory demands from warring Tory factions ahead of the party’s conference in Manchester.
With the prime minister also attempting to breathe new life into his government during his first conference as leader, MPs in “red wall” seats will present him with a plea to “turbocharge” the northern economy after the HS2 fiasco, while figures on the right are to present their own manifesto this week. Liz Truss is also set to demand lower taxes and a smaller state.
It comes as exclusive polling for the Observer reveals that a third of those who voted Conservative in 2019 now intend to switch to other parties. It suggests that the Tories have lost voters in crucial areas – their southern heartlands and “red wall” seats in the Midlands.
Something like this was occurring in the Tory party decades ago, after Blair kept beating them in elections. The Tory party then was on the edge of dissolution, as told in the book Back from the Brink. A friend who read that told me that the Tories were on the point of changing their name to the English Nationalists as some kind of survival strategy. None of the Tory factions have policies that will really benefit the country, and in the case of Truss it’s more of the policies that nearly destroyed it.
Unfortunately I don’t trust Starmer to deliver anything different.
