The worst-ever leader of the Conservative Party and shortest-lasting prime minister of the UK (because she was so bad) has claimed the Tories would have fared better in the general election if they had been led by her.
The comedy never ends with this one, does it?
After Rishi Sunak led the Tories to their worst-ever defeat in July this year, she said she believed she would have done better, but it would have been a “tall order” to win.

She reckoned her mini-budget – that caused a market meltdown – was not “allowed” to succeed. If it had, she said, the public would have looked more kindly on the Conservatives.
And then she said – more comedy! – that the party “should have kept Boris”. He was a liar and a crook, and as corrupt as they come – and she thought he was the best bet to save the Tories’ reputation with the electorate!
It gets better. She said it was over-optimistic to think that the Tories only had to show competence and they would be ushered back into office – but then declared that her idea of competence would be expanding fracking and coal power, and abolishing the Human Rights Act and the Equality Act.
In the words of one of our less-reputable periodicals: “Phew! What a loonie.”
In fact, her claims that the UK is now a “socialist country” and that the Establishment is “left-wing” suggest that she suffers from the same delusion as Peter Oborne claimed of Michael Gove.
Oborne suggested that Gove falsely believed
the institutions of the state have been captured by the left and it is not enough to win elections; these institutions must be re-taken by the right-wingers.
So we see endless attacks on the BBC (and its capture by the appointment of Tories to key roles in it); constant attacks on the civil service because Gove cannot accept that it is impartial, in order to put Tories in place there too – thereby destroying its impartiality and creating openings for serious mistakes.
Birds of a feather flock together. It seems these particular birds should be flocking in a mental hospital rather than a political party conference.
