Billed as a grouping aimed at making the Party more democratic. Formed by a Johnson lackey, Lord Cruddas, who in turn has been cozying with Aaron Banks.
First conference today being addressed by Johnson stalwarts, Rees-Mogg, Patel and Dorries. Interesting to see whether this is the last hurrah for the dispossessed or the start of a Momentum-type grouping seeking to take influence and power via Tory grassroots.
Do the Tories still have grassroots?Quote:

Any time you see the word "Democratic" in an organisation's name you understand it's anything but.
Another peculiarly Tory misnomer is the word "Research".
What about the Liberal Democrats ?Quote:

At least Jezza knew what he stood for
I'm no fan of Starmer by the way.Quote:

It's one of the pitfalls associated with being a voice of reason.Quote:

These National Conservatives didn’t think their name through properly. Or did they? Nat’Cs :facepalm:
Led by their very own fascist and the next leader of the Cons Sue Ellen. Only thing is, right wing populism only works when the so called leader is popular. Shall I tell her or will you.
there you go, fixed your post for you.Quote:

I’ve just been listening to the News Agents podcast on Nat Con and the best bit was where the right wings Champions of free speech stepped in to stop Lewis Goodall interviewing audience members :hehe:
