  • The Tories don't deserve to make a comeback until they recognise and accept their level of betrayal
  • Problem with the conservatives is the parliamentary MPs are light years away from their voters. That’s why they failed.
  • I think the panel has misunderstood the voters, the public have had enough of all the parties not keeping their words.
  • Katy Balls texting away on her phone on stage while the public are asking questions says it all about what she actually thinks of the general publics views and perspectives
  • "I can speak freely now" eucht. I am sick of all politicians of whatever stripe who betray their constituents by their cowardice. Our country is in a mess because people like Andrew Bridgen who have the courage of their convictions are few and far between.
  • Rees-Mogg, Suella Braverman, Liz Truss et al, once out of office they all say: 'now I'm free to say what I really think' but who cares? If you didn't speak your mind when you were an MP, Home Secretary or Prime Minister while you had the power to change things then now it's all words - worthless.
  • The Tories have overseen the vast increase in poorly paid, crap jobs like delivering parcels for Amazon, whilst importing a vast number of poorly qualified workers, slashing the wages for traditional, working class jobs! A few generations ago the traditional working class family = A father working, supporting a wife & 2 or 3 kids. A nice home + a summer holiday every year. Now BOTH husband & wife can work full time & be POOR! 😳
  • Message to JRM and the tories. Either YOU be conservative, or we will find another who will be. It's that simple.
  • 'I can speak the truth now". What an insult! Tells us everything we need to know about this man. Why didn't he tell the truth whilst in office ?
  • I absolutely hate talking about things through a spectrum. It should be about what works. Ideologies are a cancer...
  • I didn't strike me that Jacob Rees-Mogg is being complacent here. He was very realistic and aware of why the Conservatives lost. Many of the other Conservative members are those that are complacent and in denial.
  • Moggy should have crossed the floor to Reform .
  • As a politician, you should always speak openly and with integrity. The lack of this in politics is partly responsible for the polarisation of society 😮
  • @Pat121V
    Controlling borders. Cheap energy. Lowering tax burden. I reckon that is actually the center ground.
  • People want less foreigners and a better quality of life Tories failed on this Labour won't deliver either
  • Never forget the people screaming "you win form the center" are actually left-of-center and desperate to drag the right toward the left. Always.
  • The Tories lost because they ceased to be Conservative, Starmer did not win, in fact his share of the votes, from previous elections, went down, the final result is hardly a mandate from the electorate. Reform, only achieved 5 MP’s, with a larger majority of the votes than the LibDems. JRM was very truthful and he was actually spot on in assessment of what is to come. Net zero, is an absolute disaster policy which will definitely bite them.
