Considering the fact that the last time the conservative party members had a vote on who should lead them and be prime minister they chose Liz Truss should tell you they are going to pick the worst possible candidate.
Crazy isn’t it? How out of touch they are?
Our political class is made up of the elite, ask em how much milk costs, they’ll go mad.
Yep. Gone from 0.5 million members to 20k, leaving just the further right wing so they can try to fight reform. Time we get the lib dems into opposition whole the tories take out reform.
Well I guess they can pick the worst if they want we don't have to worry now
God bless them
@@kobirelf97 Good feeling, isn't it?
I'm the worst!
_No, I'm the worst!_
NO, I'M THE WORST
"If I can't be the best, I can sure as hell be the worst!"
No they can always point at Farage and say he is the worst.
Quick, someone make Liz a peer! If she's eligible, she can put that matter to bed quick enough.
it is nice to see tories being more inclusive at least
@@jordanjames2956 the tories/labour could bankrupt the UK beyond salvation and some people would still think Farage is worse cause he says mean things
I know the script was probably written a day ago but Bob Blackman has been elected chair of the 1922.
Well, it does make sense they would go for a diversity pick
@@MackeyDeeez 😂
Came here to say just this, however didn't they manage to fûçk that up too, with the whips and the committee giving different meeting times/locations to MPs leading to confusion and cos-play action doll and Penfold impersonator Francois exploding in gammonrage because he missed the vote?
Bob Blackman is a totally non entity. nobody knows who he is.
"We should get Liz's chancellor, what was his name again?"
did the desk break or are you just chillin after this election result 😄
He's getting a bl*w job
they cant afford their rented studio anymore.

That's one of the best comments ever
Sometimes women who are timelessly good looking at Akshata Murty’s level will choose to sartorially actualize ‘this old thing.’ It may well be that MS Murty’s bold choice of the Razzle Dazzle dress was emphatically meant to say ‘I’ve got him and he’s got me,’ and ‘You folks will have to get by with your own choices.’ The genuine grin on MS Murty’s face as she walked away from Number 10 was not that of a woman who was struggling with disappointment.
@@jonrolfson1686 She and Sunak are both younger couple for politics and Tories struggles, along with other problems blamed on her husband. Who wouldn't want to leave. Same thing probably going to happen to Starmer and his wife, so forth.
If Kemi Badenoch and Suella Braverman are your leadership frontrunners you might as well call it a day and settle in for 10 years in opposition.
The revolving door of the Tory leadership keep on spinning.
Truss and Sunak being the last two is almost hysterical, until you realize they led the country already.
I Don't get the hate for Sunak, I understand Truss. But At least Sunak looked like he tried to do the job.
@@ulyssesgrant4324 excuse me? have you listen to any of his unhinged ramblings or deeds (like blocking scottish law as a power grab)? he is a miserable hateful goblin to put it politely.
Truss is "just" incompetent.
@@otakuofmine Sunak is at least playing to character though. He is "competent" by the standards of the Tories. And at least there's a vague relationship between what he says he wants and his policies.
Truss was entirely detached from reality, had a plan to destroy the government faster than Guy Fawkes, and was incapable of learning from her failures.
It's reasonable to hate Sunak for what he says and believes, but Truss was a full-on mental patient.
@@ulyssesgrant4324 £750m of government contracts offered to his wife's company and wanted to bring back national service
@@otakuofmine
Why is it that people who criticise others for being hateful do so with the most indulgently hateful language? It's such a self-report.
5:43 Badenoch survived the general election, not the leadership election
They misspelled "requirements" at 5:01 too...
There's no time
Surprised you haven't also seen that the period for Priti Patel and Suella Braverman's period as Home Secretary is the wrong way round.
my bro cosplaying as a speaker stand at 3:13 doesn't seem to be having a good time
He looks straight out of peaky blinders
Sans speaker, he looks more like an extra from Oliver Twist
Bro wanted to become House Speaker but forgot to read the job description.
5:43 ‘Badenoch did survive the leadership election’ lol
Typo
She's the best.
@@lloydgushis she an immgrnt? 😂😂😂
@@abstraqtphilosophy7357 irrelevant, she's based.
@@lloydgush so there are exceptions? If those immgrnts coming by boats to the UK become based, will you welcome them with open hands?
What have Braverman and Patel really done? All I remember is they shouted loudly about small boats, and yet utterly failed to do anything about it.
Neigel Farage is a back bencher who will need to be called upon by the Speaker in order to ask Kier Starmer any questions. How often does anyone think that Farage will show up at Parliament to sit on the back benches in the hopes that he is called on to ask one question from time-to-time? Bottom line, Reform UK is not leading the opposition and will not be holding Labour to account.
And that's why Nigels going to conservatives to be party leader.
@@TheWebstaffNigel? He is Farage the grifter to most of us!

Kunta say you have very small brain 🌚

Yeah he never did his fucking job as an MEP, he was just there to grift. As if this will be any different.
Really love TLDR across all channels but this new format without a desk really worsens the experience. Would really like to see the old format back!
Why does it matter?
@@brrfanta appearance always matters in video media. You don't expect a news channel to be presented by someone leaning forwards on their knees with polaroids on the bare brick wall next to them
Looks super amateur and they have been producing videos long enough that they should know this
The sound quality is better, and that makes it a better experience.
@@crazycjkthis.
The words deckchairs, shuffling and Titanic leap to mind.
What is a Tory?
The potential lineup of tory leadership candidates looks like the Adams family
Several figures have been campaigning for the position since the day Sunak entered office, if not earlier. That is part of the party's problem; they never united behind him, and there is little chance of doing so behind whoever is selected as his replacement.
Bring back the desk
They're moving offices
Let’s hope badenoch gets in and makes the Tory’s unelectable for a generation
Patel, Badenoch and Braverman are all unelectable tbf and maybe Badenoch is the most out of all of them
Tories*
Hopefully they will carry on a bicker like they have for the last 7ish years. Hopefully the party members will then vote in the next nut job just to make their time in opposition a little longer.
Wouldn't employ a single tory, chocolate tea pots the lot of them.
@@BoyeeSmudgerAt this point, Farage as Tory leader is more electable than any of them
@@randomguy-tg7ok Stories*
6:07 you got the dates the wrong way around
1. There should have been an election after Johnson stepped down. 2. When Truss sunk, Sunak had no political support of anyone.
Lee Anderson looks more like a security guard than a politician
The new chairman of the 1922 was elected yesterday. Bob Blackman.
I thought this would be the rules for the election that Bob put out oh well looks like tldr is well late on this one...
They are a small group, sometimes the news cycle catches up with production. That cannot be helped.
@@bzuidgeest I know I'm being a little bit snarky they were on point during the election and quite frankly I'm not surprised half the team aren't on holiday right now all completely broken down with exhaustion I can't blame them for being a little behind on this one
The tories have so few mp's there's enough time for every one of them to be party leader for 2 weeks before the best election comes round 😂
That head of lettuce is looking pretty likely to finally pull it off.
Respectable is not a word I have ever associated with Farage.
True, but 'electable' certainly ought to be and it looks to only be getting more relevant over the next few years.
Cry Labour sheep
Thats ur problem
Because he cares about his people,its obvious you would not associate
@@texas975 This is the guy that said the US election was his priority until Trump was found guilty and he sniffed an opportunity back here. Sure. Caring.
Bring back the desk!
They're moving offices
Seconded!
A respectable 5 members. Lol 😂
"Respectable" Lol 😂
they got more votes than the lib dems
That is quite a lot, relative to the fact that they only had 1 before the election
I challenge you to run for MP next election. If you get over 50 votes I’ll be very impressed, let alone get yourself and 4 others elected to parliament.
At this point, leading the Tories is a fate worse than death.
hearing you mention Graham giving me flashbacks to the constant "he hasn't even told his wife" comment lol
Still not sold on this sofa vibe, a bit of a step back I think tbh
Theyre moving offices
In the leadership debates each candidate "...tried to brand their colleagues as unfit to lead the country." Well, they were certainly right about that --- all of them were unfit.
Did something happen to your studio?
They're moving offices
rats cannibalizing each other
Love the video kept me invested.
Rishi sunak so far was not that bad as Lis Truss and Boris as I believe this two was actually the main cause why the Tory Lost badly in the election.Personally i believe rishi is counted one of the best in the conservative and should hold on as a Tory leader and be the opposition why not.
I liked the news desk look of TLDR. I'll get used to the couch look.
If the electorate thought Sunak had a repellent personality, wait until they see more of Badenoch. Same for Bully Patel.
0:30 say what you want about UK politics, but you can't say they don't do it in a pretty building.
Thanks for the video
This is going to be a shitshow
playing musical chairs on the deck of the titanic...
4:56 requirments lol
Babe wake up, TLDR news have a new set.
Leadership elections don't automatically have to cause damaging in fighting. It's just that the Tories have forgotten how to do any campaigning which doesn't involve attacking their rivals. Best I can guess is it's going to end up being Badenoch or Tugendhat. Don't see any of the right wing MPs beating Badenoch given how much more competent she has been than them, and Tugendhat could get the support purely by being a centrist if they are wise enough to remember that you only ever win elections from the centre in the UK.
Probably the biggest thing in each of their favour is I don't think either have particularly been in any scandals - a rare thing for a Tory MP nowadays.
Reform will get one PMQ every 4 weeks - if they are lucky. They are a small party.
he is still kidnapped
"They need to elect a Chairman of the 1922 Committee" -- this was done yesterday, this video's already out of date
You've kind of got to expect that most tldr videos are a day out of date. With these videos being decently well edited I'm cool with it taking them a day.
@@jamesslater9098 I get that but if you're dedicating a third of the video to something that doesn't need discussion anymore because it's decided what's the point? They said at the start this one guy is expected to become 1922 leader but not only has the leader been decided it wasn't even that guy. I get they're edited well & by a small team but a large chunk of this video was irrelevant before it was even uploaded
@@jamesslater9098 except the video then says "it could be weeks before a 1922 chairman is elected"... it's not just out of date, it is wrong. Should have reshot, removed or annotated the offending section.
Great video! One thing however is I think your dates for when Braverman and Patel were Home Secretary are wrong.
Wait, it won't be Rishi for ever? :D
The leadership election should be more hunger games than beauty contest!
Why give air time to Reform and not Lib Dems ?
Cuz this channel is right wing under the guise of impartiality. Watch them carefully and you will see.
Nigel Firage and legitimate are two words that should never go together.
On the other hand
Nigel Firage and egged, or Nigel Firage and Milkshaked...even better Nigel Firage and punchable go very well together.
4:40 Did none of you read the news before this video came out? They've already elected a chairman, it's the MP for Harrow East, Bob Blackman.
I love how rishi wife brought an umbrella out this time. When it didnt rain XD
I appreciate the informative content the CZcams channel provides about current events. However, I've noticed they've recently started presenting the news from a more casual, informal setting without a desk. While I understand the desire to create a relaxed atmosphere, I feel a desk-based setup would be more appropriate for this type of news content.
nerd
Seeing as it's like to 12th Tory leadership contest in 4 years I think we all know how it works by now!
dates are mixed up at 6:06
"requirments" SIC
1:49 wtf was going on in the background lol
Where’s ur desk
How about James Cleverly?
You really need to do better research. Most Conservative MPs, particularly within conservative circles, are talking about a longer leadership election. One individual giving a quote to the Guardian would not change that.
6:06 you got Patel and Braverman’s time in the home office mixed up
I *like* the new presentation style, for sure!
0:29 So much aura
Ahhh... History repeating itself is glorious! What's happening to the Conservatives is shockingly similar to what happened to the Liberal Democrats (Then just the Liberals) back in the early 20th century when the party ate itself alive. Labor wasn't always the other biggest party in U.K politics, it was actually the Liberals, but they started fighting amongst themselves over new liberalism or old Gladstonian liberalism as the direction for the party, with the new liberals eventually just defecting to labor, the last liberal government ended in 1915 and they've never really recovered.
Here's hoping the Tories DON'T learn from the lessons of the past.
I like the new “informal” setup of presenting the news.
6.06 secs - you got the tenure dates mixed up for Braverman and Patel. 😅😅😅😅😅
"Let's start by talking about Labour and Reform." Ah yes, the only two parties, FFS.
Why was Sunaks missus wearing a bedsheet?
Doing the worst ever and being 5 years from the next election is the exact time to do a more involved leadership race. Introspection is needed. But they seem to want to avoid that.
Although their whole system sounds weird. And after something like this, the requirement to go through MPs and being an MP seems to set it up for an extremist dince more moderates probably lost their seats.
The fact that David Tennant in an acceptance speech for the lgbt awards said that he wished Badenoch would "just shut up" tells me that she is NOT the one to change the fortune of the Tories
She is the best candidate & Tennants behaviour & the motivations for it typify many of the reasons for why she is
I somewhat doubt that David Tennant was once a devout Tory voter, and I also doubt that anyone cares about his political opinion. Nothing against Tennant as an actor, he’s great, but not exactly a famous political influencer.
At 3:18 I can kinda admire the sheer amount of annoyed energy coming from the gent holding the speaker. Thats a level of grump I've not seen on a guy before
I think the Tories' best option is the lettuce
4:59 spelt requirement wrong
Badenoch may not be eligible to run if labour contest legally contest the result
Reform will have little opportunity to embarrass anyone but himself. He is the leader of a mp block. Questions are reserved for the opposition and next largest party...
And I bet when he gets one, he will make a fool out of himself.
uniparty propaganda
That's If he ever turns up 😂
For a channel that gives away free content, i sure do get alot of ads before your videos.
What about a Conservative leader who is a (checks notes) conservative?????
Most left when Johnson took over. Conservatives currently don't have a political home.
No chance.
Badenoch is 1
Anti-woke is 1 of the most useful forms of conservatism
@@michaelwoolley7034 No she isn't. She's not even from here, you are a joke
Kemi Badenough has ‘another Liz Truss disaster’ written all over her 😂 Tbe only language she speaks in is Word Salad, an absolute bletherer of nonsense - a proponent of gaslighting supreme 😂
Heya i just wanted to ask- does TLDR exist as a podcast?
They have a podcast channel
Can you use "chair" instead of "chairman"? Thank you for being more inclusive.
If the Tories are to be a viable opposition, they need to not take the bait of Farage and instead focus on the middle ground, the one that the Tories have previously done very well in. They need to move away from eye fluttering towards Boris Johnson and the "merits" of Liz Truss and instead focus on how they're going to detoxify the more loony aspects of their party
Riiiiiiight
I bet you would never ever vote Tory or any centre right party in any country, in a million years but they should take your advice.
@@dontcomply3976 that´s just a lame ad hominem. I actually think countries need a good left wing and a good right wing party, I think it would be good if we had a conservative party that wasn´t radically Thatcherite, that wasn´t rather xenophobic etc.
I´d rather the UK had a conservative party more like the CDU in Germany, or more like it was under Ted Heath and Harold Macmillan.
@dontcomply3976 why were Labour comprehensively blown out in 2019? It was because under Jeremy Corbyn, the party shifted too far to the left for the country as a whole. Something similar occurred, albeit on the right, for the Tories. For all his faults, Cameron at least tried to tap into the middle ground, but since Brexit, the Tories shifted further and further to the right, for example, cutting the top rate of tax without finding ways to pay for them
@@SiVlog1989 Basically if the two parties shift to far to the left or right, they get thrashed at elections. That's why if the Tories want to be re-elected, they need a moderate candidate.
@@maxgraham479 exactly
Firstly, they should keep it a smaller affair. I.e not have it pasted across media for weeks on end, like the last few they’ve had.
Really don't understand why you needed to mention Reform at the beginning of this and not the Lib Dems or Greens. I know its only a small thing but this kind of subtle bias really adds up
Given the focus is on the Conservatives and their lurch further right in recent years, I am sure they are more worried about Reform eating their lunch than they are about what the Lib Dems are doing. And I don't imagine the Conservatives lost a single vote to the Greens, there is just no overlap between their voters.
Strategically, a party to the right of the Conservatives presents more problems. Without Reform, the Tories can compete for the centre ground without needing to worry too much about the right wing of the party (other than trying to get them to turn out on election day). With Reform, it becomes extremally difficult to craft policies that appeal to all potential Tory voters.
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that the Conservatives can't get back into government while Reform exists as a significant minor party.
@patriarch7237 That true conservative Rory whathisface who looks like Willem Dafoe who stood for leader in 2019, said he was going to vote Green
Didn't the greens win 2 seats off the tories last week?!
I think the two going to the members will be kimi b and tom t.
5:41 i think you meant Badenoch survived the general election, not leadership :)
I’d love to have Patel as party leader lol
Lady Arianne Frey AU would be golden
has the TLDR team ditched the desk for the couch? This is the second couch video Ive seen
They need a leader soon as leadership fighting takes away from being an opposition
Could sunak still stand?
Since John Major the Conservative Parliamentary MP's have become more liberal and vacated small "c" conservatism leaving the vacuum to be filled by ReformUK.
Party has to decide does it want to become LibDem2.0 or do a 180°, start being socially conservative again and challenge ReformUK.
Correct. And LibDems are thriving so we don't need another one.
But leftist commentators who would never vote tory in their lives will tell you that they need to be more "moderate" ;)
They, and reform, are not conservatives. They're right wing radicals - trying to do things like leave the ECHR is totally at odds with conservative values. Contrary to Reform UK belief, conservative does not just mean bigoted.
@@barryhomeowner9293 This. Conservatism means conserving. Reform wants Reform. Reform isn't conservative.
@@barryhomeowner9293you don't even understand what conservatism is then
Mordaunt is such a bad bitch and she looked epic with that sword. Wish she could be the leader.
86 the facial hair, Ben!
Can you do back to the old format using an actual mic. The audio quality has dipped
Good unbiased discussion. So rare.
Who will be the first MP to defect to reform
Depends which direction the Conservative MP's go, if it carries on it's liberal path then probably up to a third could look to ReformUK who have taken up the small "c" conservatism space the Conservative Party parliamentary MP's have left behind.
Probably as telling is how many Conservative Party Members look towards ReformUK.
Farage will likely defect from reform just like he did ukip
Probably Cruella de Ville
Nigels going to be Conservative leader.
