Sunak is facing a major crisis with “deeply unhappy” Conservative Party
- hunglee2 4y agothere is no pleasing today's Conservative Party - a rabble of factions which no longer belong under the same banner. The Right Wingers should rebrand as the English Nationalists and whatever is left try and recover some sort of credibility with small business and City. No single leader is ever going to unite this lot again
- nailer 4y agoI don’t think there are many English nationalists - they left for UKIP ages ago.
- hunglee2 4y agoUKIP / EDL have hijacked the Conservatives, they are basically following the English Nationalist agenda
- nailer 4y agoThe EDL were a violent mob that wanted an English enthostate. That very clearly isn’t the conservatives who have been closer to the center than Labour has in the last decade.
- Cymrukicks 4y agoWhat do you mean UKIP collapsed post brexit, the right wing of the party or the ERG is basically UKIP as the poster says they have been holding the party to ransom for a while. Sunak needs to purge them from the party if he is to win another election.

This, I thought, required the Cons to commit hara kiri, although things might get that stupid after the 5th or 6th new pm. Comics are pointing out that at this rate Charles has a chance of working with more pm’s than his mother did..

Similarly, individual constituencies cannot recall their MP unless they have been found guilty of a wrongdoing that fulfils certain criteria [0] [0] https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn05089/ https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn05...
- Gibbon1 4y agoSome British guy I know said the problem the Tories have is there aren't any more high value public assets to give away. And all the stuff they did give away has been stripped.
- ID1452319 4y agoI don't know about that. Channel 4, Network Rail, Land Registry and half of Nat West Bank have all been mooted as a potential sale in recent years.
