The problem is, even if the Tory's did adopt a load of right wing policies, nobody would believe them. Years of talking tough and doing nothing, has created a huge credibility problem for them.
The UK public is not right-wing and never has been. Support for progressive parties far exceeds support for the right wing at every election. Adopting "a load of right wing policies" is certain to lead to their defeat.
@@gio-oz8gf That is pretty much what happened anyway.
@@gio-oz8gf Allow me to introduce you to the concept of floating voters. You know, people that aren't ideological left or right wing who lend their support to either "left wing" or "right wing" parties.
The Tories did have right wing policies. Far right must be what you wanted.
@@DRKrust492 far right? Anarchy?
tories need to shut up and display a little humility. The tories are lucky not to be facing charges for treason, corporate manslaughter, fraud etc. I don't want to hear ANYTHING from the tories for a very long time!!
Agreed. And Sunak should have his automatic knighthood revoked.
For ever
Such tolerance.

Sunak being genuinely offended by racial abuse aimed at him after he had defended Frank Hester for racially abusing Diane Abbott was quite stunning.
He wasn't even offended, that was just another lie.

"Serve the British people." Hilarious.

Record gilt sales under his leadership and gave a 10bn headroom to labour.

He handed it to starmer because his bosses want him to get on with the destruction of the UK

Tim Shipman struggling with what the Tories needs to change...🤦🏻 1. Deliver on your promises 2. Don't be corrupt. Am I missing something? 🤣
Yes you are, the wets will never forgive or get over the Brexit vote, both wings of the party hate each other with a passion. It is over no band aid will repair their deep wounds !
"Be Conservative". They should at least offer a choice between their vision for the country and everyone else's. If that vision appears unfashionable at any given moment, then so be it. At this point in the electoral cycle they were doomed whatever they did.
The snap election was a white flag for Rishi's own comfort. It was Rishi over Party - I actually felt for unprepared Tory candidates. He could not wait for it to end.
his wife told him to throw in the towel..."its not our country anyway, why should you care ?"
Yep
@@kwanchan6745 he followed his orders
"Serious, competent and well behaved"
Exactly! Im glad at least one of them has some self awareness.
forgive me but at 7.20mins in - i thought i heard the man says 'at least now the tories have got the luxury of time'???? THEY HAD 14 YEARS .. give me a break sunshine - the tories need to really be away from us for a long long time -
Some time without media bashing them. Starmer cabinet is a full clown show.
The conservative government cabinet plus the last 4 (P)crime ministers should ALL be in jail for crimes against the nation
it seems a rule of nature that politicians that have served two terms turn to filling their own pockets
why can't politicians deliver what they promise, and ensure the country prospers ? is it that difficult ?
Add Blair too
Tim Montgomerie just quoted Boris Johnson........ this man is blinkered.
Hate Boris...but it's a valid statement.
Tories still can't quite grasp how much they are disliked.
They knew they were going to lose the general election. They only called a snap election to stop reform from becoming the mainstream right wing party by giving them enough time to convince more voters.
It was too prevent tory extinction and it worked. 130 tory mp to reform 5. So next election right wing will feel reform vote is hopeless leaving only tory as a supposed right wing party with any chance of defeating Labour. So keeping the majority of thier voter base.
Will be a new leader, new promises of a reformed tory party and "it's all fault of the last guy, we've learnt, we're your only option to win" and most voters will fall for it
Give it year and everyone will hate Labour...
They don't care about us in any way. They certainly don't care what we think.
@@siypic It won;t take that long
Sunak has been a terrible unelected PM. And so shameless. Good riddance.
I think Boris was the worst ever, irresponsible reckless clown
He's still on parliament. All the Tories should resign and disband the party
I am revelling in the Tory tears, but the truth is that we, The People never directly elect the PM. Please learn how the system works.
I disagree .Compared to Johnson and Truss Mr Sunak was a competent Prime Minister .
@Chicas-nb5xy I think the mistakes he made demonstrate naivety and your abuse is inappropriate. Please save your anger for Cameron , Osborne , Johnson ,Truss and Rees Mogg .
Why are you still debating the whys and wherefores of theTories defeat. The result of the election shows the country has moved on. Perhaps Mr Murdoch, his newspaper and radio hub should too

Bye bye Tories 😂
The nightmare is about to begin. Starmer will soon be pushed out and the left will take over the party again. You will regret the day you voted
Dream on entitled Tories.
I remember that former Tory minister on the news claiming the population is “instinctively conservative” or something. It shows how colossal arrogance is.
@@owentillnot really. 2/3 of the last century the British population has been governed by the Conservative Party.
@@Robc--jd6yh ok but there are a lot of instances of this being caused by specific circumstances like the World War Two coalition era having no elections or the collapse of the liberal party, split left during the SDP much later on (and just the generally split left with the libdems since then). The one time the tories ever managed to win a massive majority was the same as Labour has right now with the whole “voting against Labour more than for the tories” during the Great Depression. LABOUR was the one who managed to inspire a positive vote in favour in 1997, I would point out that by 1997 Major had done well to fix the economy in many senses and lost anyways so that was less about being anti-Tory and more pro-Labour. So no that doesn’t substantiate the idea that Britain is instinctively conservative except for surface level analysis.
"Governed or served? Ask yourself that question.
“Worst performance since the war”, Crimean?
That was the last Conservative Prime Minister.
You are now watching the last Labour Prime Minister.
The 'mile wide and inch deep' comment was also made by Boris Johnson. Who came up with it? No confidence in Starmer, but the Tories are simply pond life.
Don't listen to doomsters and gloomsters like Boris Johson running Britain down.
If I never hear from Tim Montgomerie again it will be too soon.
Absolutely. An intensely irritating Tory.
I quite like listening to him.
Probably shouldn't have clicked on this video then. There is a choice
The refusal of the Conservatives to understand that their one party contains 2 distinct parties that are almost unrecognisable to each other, because the centre right is more akin to the labour party than its own far right. A broad church??? My ear hole.
But who exactly will bring the Tories back to sanity? Cruella or Bad Enoch.
There are no psychiatrists left in the Tory asylum. They were all purged by Boяis and his window-licking chums.
There will be no self reflection. There will be acrimony and greed. as usual.
@@michaeladkins6 tel aviv is happy with the results

Are we doomed to hear "A mile wide and an inch deep" for the next five years? Why can't "educated people" find their own words?
Next time it will be deep too. The government is talking like adults.
They love a cliche. Someone needs to tell the Tories that the anti-Tory sentiment is an ocean wide AND an ocean deep
I think the inverted commas do the explaining there.

He’s a banker not a politician and was shoehorned into PM without the people’s consent! Once a PM goes we must insist on an election!
These chaps talk like One Nationers who got the Tories into the mess they are in.
It’s only a matter of time till the public will turn on labour.
Interesting point about only needing 15 letters of no confidence now. In the next 5 years all 121 of them might end up having a go at being leader.
Why Dom Jolly? What expertise does he offer the political world? Why are these media channels obsessed with famous people's views in areas in which they have no more knowledge or experience of politics than any ordinary man in the street.
because it's a circus.
I know Montgomery is a comedian by nature but the Tories were in 23!
YES 23%!
Shouldn't be crowing about Labour having over 30% Monty!
Who cares what Rishi Sunak wanted? The British electorate wanted the Tories out months before the election. My personal feeling was that there should had been an election after Truss went down in flames - what arrogance to foist a second unelected leader on the country in a single parliament, especially given the records of the two previous leaders.
It wasn't the campaign or the behaviour, it was your poor governing
You've got more than ten years in you, Tim!
Why did the Conservative Party call a general election before 200 of their candidates had been formally announced? Seems a Kamikaze decision and utterly incompetent 😢
I can’t believe that the Conservative Party lost Henley-On-Thames, in Oxfordshire. Having lived in the town I would have never thought that was ever possible 🗳️😢🫢
What arrogance.
He failed to stop the Boats. The only reason.. Stop the boats. If Labour fails then they will be out.

@@davidpearson243 Maybe in London, where it's full of immigrants, anyway.
I TOTALLY AGREE Kenneth! It is NOT Rocket Science is it to STOP THE BOATS!! Why did they not get the Royal Navy involved to STOP THE BOATS? I just don't get it? Surely that is what our Royal Navy is for? To stop ILLEGAL MEN from entering our country? Its now BROKEN BRITAIN completely - and people are leaving the UK in droves... I don't see how Labour can stop the boats, as they don't have a plan do they??? Ugh! What a mess
@@davidpearson243 Exactly. The majority of the country are concern about COL, NHS, education and policing. The 'Stop the boats' brigade need to look at he waste of billions of pounds as a country we can't afford being given to Rwanda when every thing else is declining in this country.

They played that when Blair got the job but things didn't get better,
Blair is already advising Starmer.
The nightmare begins.
Tim Montgomerie may be one of the only ethical conservatives left. We governed badly, we deserved it, he says. We were left with the dregs. Damn right.
Tim talks sense, but remember who the Tory members are. They chose Truss, they'll choose a Braverman or a Patel rather than fighting reform head on
They should be aligning with reform to give the country a proper right wing option.
They only chose Truss because the alternative was Sunak. It was the Tory MPs who whittled it down to that choice.
@@puma21puma21 reform are the BNP with a different bagde.
@@normanstewart9349 the same Sunak that warned that Truss' unfunded tax cuts would lead to financial meltdown? You're kind of proving my point.
@@puma21puma21 Reform UK PLC are simply Russian-funded agitators and greedy loudmouthed grifters.
But, hey, people like you will fall for them every time.
It's not a mile wide and an inch deep, tactical voting was widespread, we knew we'd be getting a Labour government regardless, we chose to vote for progressive mps and get as many tories out as possible, that's why Lib Dems gained 60 odd seats, in places this backfired, and the progressive vote was split, you're seriously underestimating how badly the Tories are thought of throughout the UK
Is that why he called an election in July? When he didn't need to call it until November?? Bye Rishi, you shouldn't have been there in the first place!
either his wife told him to as their suitcases and boots were filled, or netanyahu told him to, to distract from gaza
The timing was to not allow Farage time to place candidates everywhere.
I suspect he knows what’s coming down the pipeline and didn’t have the courage to be a War Time prime minister
@@mattadders9819 he didn't have the intelligence to be a peace time prime minister
YOU ALL LIED. LIED. LIED. AND THEN EXPECT VOTES. CAPSLOCK FOR A REASON - I AM ANGRY AT YOU FOR DESTROYING MY HOMELAND.
"A mile wide & an inch deep", I have heard every Tory polictian & supporter use this phrase, I wonder if this was put on the Tory talking points sheet 😂
Yes, of course it was - trying to undermine the grownups once they've come into office.
The Tories were in power for 14 years on exactly the same system - doing a Trump, denying the validity of the election.
Worst defeat since 1832 actually.
He shouldn't have been P.M in first place
Gary please remember Sunak actually had the support of his colleagues.
Time to stop talking about the Tories. They had their time.
Can we sue and get some of the defrauded money back for the PPE
Despite the very obvious fact that Sunak lost the General Election quite heavily, he must be very relieved on a more personal level to have the whole ordeal out of the way.
There's one thing I do believe, is that deep down he's a quite decent guy.
That man is talking BS
Leave them with their delusions. Their out of touchness is the reason they governed so badly and were reduced to 121 MPs.
Maybe, Rishi Sunak being a man of faith didn’t agree with what he was being made to do from behind the scenes that he wanted out!
Rishi too Rich to really care…..jmho
I am a traditional conservative voter, ex military, but i voted labour as did many of my friends, in order to save our country from utter disaster. Those so called patriots who vote farage should be ashamed. We do not need fascism in the uk.
Name one thing that was Fascist or even 'far right' in the Reform manifesto?
I’m a socialist ex QARNN and I thank you for your decency. The tories swung to the right and I think might be considering going even further to play Farage at his own game. They won’t . We have to have the support for Starmer and his government to get what needs to be done, done. Without the heckling and sniping from the side lines. And we need the right wing media to get out of our lives! No one elected them and they have been complicit in egging on the tories in their headlong dash to the right, and in giving Farage far too much air time and column inches than he deserves as a small party leader. That man is so dangerous as well as despicable.
Thank you again for coming to our aid. To the aid of the whole country.
@@IanDavis-me1mfyou are joking aren’t you? Manifesto? Tissue of lies. You are just the Brexit/ BNP/ Fascist Party wrapped up in new colours. You can’t disguise the stink though.

@Lynnefromlyn Name me one thing that was Fascist or far right in the manifesto or that Farage or Tice or Habib have said. It's a simple question that nobody seems to be able to answer. The only extremists in this country are those that are always in power. The uni party of Labour and Conservative have destroyed this country.
How do you feel about people coming to live here from countries where our military has killed huge amounts of people? Do you think they came here because they love us?
Do you think at all?

Sunak kept financial system from crashing for one. Britons can be puzzling.
The Conservative Party needs to split.
They can elect Bardeoch and compete with Reform for 40% of the electorate. Sunak was impressive in the debates for people who think shouting down other people is a virtue.
They should just merge with labour.. they are pretty much the same.. same type of leadership and level of lies
Yeah, except demonstrably they're not, are they.
Tim saying it as it is
One of the worst things the Tories ever did was convince the population that taxes are inherently bad.
Civic education is sorely needed.
But Rishi Sunak saved the economy!! Everyone seems to forget. The Tories did NOT support him.
How come now they can’t admit the Tory government was not good but just a few days ago before defeat they were saying they were great! 😂
The electorate in the UK are confused about "right and left" . Thankfully in the UK there is a variety of entirely respectable opinions within the "right - left continuum". To compare and attempt to discredit either with extremes elsewhere is ridiculous
The lesson here is the people choose their leaders, not the internal politics of the party, and Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss are at the heart of this.
Starmer has sleep walked his way into Downing Street.
Mr. Sunak, speaking from a recruitment fair in San Diego, has said he tried everything he could and remains committed to his party and country.
Except he's proven himself to be a liar, no better than that other idiot, Johnson.
Starmer won a super majority with 34% Corbyn got 40% , Theresa May 42% .Labour didn’t win , the Tories lost
The tories are DONE. They should deregister as a party. They WILL NOT be able to regroup. Too many ego's wanting it their way. They are finished. And as for farage, he will NEVER ever have any real power. He's a grub only interested in himself, and massaging his ENORMOUS smallman ego.
Tories don't need to deregister because there will be nothing left of this country soon.
"Maybe we're all living in a simulation of how bad you can run an election"
Honestly Tim subscribing to "Last Day Thursday-ism" really feels like the Tory party coming full circle.
That man can't sit still
It's been obvious for six months. Not policy worth a burnt sausage introduced or followed through. Completely aimless.
He's not the only one!
There's a shitstorm on the way and Sunak wants out before it hits. Brace yourselves for hard times.
Inflation has gone from high to low and the growth forecast looks modestly promising.
@Flowmotion1000 Possible war with Russia, Iran vs Israel, financial collapse... who knows?
@@Flowmotion1000 That's the best joke I've heard in a long time apart from "things can only get better"
The British public have accept some of the blame for putting up with this Conga Line of under achievers for as long as they did. From my vantage point here in Australia Starmer will struggle for traction from day one and will make ‘ net zero’ progress during his term as PM.
Tories again ? Never! They have got their winnings from the betting shop now they can float off to spend them!
As if rishi gives a fck.whats he guna do cry in his stash of bank notes haha
if they wait too long to choose a leader it will be over for them as a party so hoprfully they will do this
Rishi Sunak's has been singing Level 42's song 'It's Over' since the beginning of the year.
Yeah that's what I thought - either jump ship now or jump ship later
How can they choose a leader when they don’t any longer know who they are or what they stand for? They definitely need to take their time to do as Tim suggests. I’m a Labour supporter, so they can take as long as they like as far as I’m concerned - but we do eventually need an effective opposition and a strong second party in our FPTP system.
Absolutely spot on! They have a conundrum. Farage has come out of the woodwork with Reform Ltd and grabbed the FAR-RIGHT (even though he laughingly says they are “centre right” .. Labour have shifted into the middle ground (centre left) so what do the Tories do now? They got rid of all the “one nation” remainer Tories (like my old MP Ken Clarke) so the6 have no option but to pick a rabid right winger. Bravaman’s or Badenoch or Jenrick are my bets. Any thoughts? (PS my constituency Rushcliffe voted Labour) 😀
If you’re a Labour supporter, you’re a traitor to your country.
Sounds like they need a new party altogether
Interesting that all these Tory commentators are arguing for a period of reflection and debate rather than listening to the people and making real changes which was Labour's mantra post 2019.
It only took them four defeats to realise what had to be done so I suspect Tories will need a few more before they manage to face up to reality!
Diane Abbott Should become Leader of the Conservative party. It will bring humour and amazing debates.
Never again Conservatives will never get my vote ever again
In with a shot to serve the British people again, this guy is a comedian. All they want is to get elected and get the pay nothing more.
I know , Sunak has been terrible pm Why didn’t you find a better one ? Because there wasn’t a better one than Sunak in the cabinet. If you get rid of the outsiders from the political parties you will better know it , just think about the British sports, you will get all the answers. Thanks
Voting Labour to replace the Tories is beyond laughable!
In what way
you won't have long to wait
'Davos First'....gives you a hint of what will take place in the next five years, TorLab are in lockstep with that.
TODAY’S NEWS - UK is growing again just after Sunak lost badly. All the hard work by Sunak. Feel sad for that guy. 😢

So glad to see the tories GO !!! Liars from day 1
yes. All the lies about weapons of mass destruction. Starting wars with Iraq and Afghanistan. Oh! hold on! That was labour. It's confusing because they are so similar.
"A mile wide and an inch deep" ...isnt that just a description of most tory mps in flagrante delicto?
The main obstacle wasn't policy but that a political party (whoever it is) was in power for over a decade. People want a change around that duration ...
All you've got to do to find out what the Conservatives are and what they're for is to ASK YOUR ELECTORATE.
Fishing around for university professors and talking to ex MPs, and 'internationalising' your party is only going to reinforce the political bubble that led you to this situation. Reform are a grass roots party which has the people's wishes at it's core - hence 15% of the vote in the election. That's the point.
Rishi Sunak NO FACE to face the people for the poor job done.
The tories need to realise they don’t have a Devine right to govern
Reform all the WAY
