The Tories destroyed the Tory party, get a grip with current affairs David.
-
There’s plenty of people in Reform who would be horrified of merging with the Conservative Party
-
This man is so out of touch, the Tory's destroyed themselves.
-
This man has no idea what damage the Tory's have done
-
Tories have set fire to their own house.
-
David Davis can't complain - he's been one of the useful fools of the toxic chaos for the last 14 years
-
Self inflicted chaos. Bye bye traitors
-
Delusional stuff from Davies
-
I am afraid that Mr Davis, like most of his colleagues, just dont get it. But they will, soon.
-
A vote for tories is a vote for labour
-
Lots of people who are voting reform would be horrified at a merger with the tories, why build a new pond and have the same fish in it?
-
'Burn down the golf club' that line shows exactly how Tories see the party, an exclusive club mainly for old boys.
-
I cant want to see the Conservatives gone.
-
It always amazes me that the same tories that helped create the chaos of the last 14 years, are also now the ones sitting and talking as if they were absolutely nothing to do with it.
-
He’s a very naive person who talks a lot but couldn’t manage a car dealership let alone negotiate Brexit.
-
Reform gifted the Tories an 80 seat majority. The Tories blew it all on Labour policies.
-
The same people telling you "immigration isn't a big issue and nobody will vote reform" are the same ones that told you nobody would vote to leave the EU!
-
All the tories chickens are coming home to roost all at once and it is a marvellous sight to behold!
-
Reform do not need the CON Servatives.

As a retired special needs teacher I wish I could explain to David (whom I respect) the impact of immigration into our schools. It doesn’t affect most tories because they do not put their kids into state schools so they don’t care. I voted Conservative for the first time but now I don’t know what to do. Immigration disturbs the ethnic balance, turning areas into no go ghettos. Families that lived there for generations are trapped there, due to poverty but find themselves an island in an Islamic community. Their mothers, sister, daughters are intimidated when they go out showing flesh. The schools have a limited special needs budget, but rather than support kids with autism, low ability, dyslexia (remember that their parents pay their taxes) it becomes overburdened with immigrant children needing language provision. The money is eaten up. My son works in the NHS and it is similar there. For tories, who usually have private education and private health care, our concerns do not affect you. This is why Nigel Farage appeals to ordinary people. We don’t live in leafy suburbs, please take note
