  • A tale of two thinktanks - you lucky things.
    Jon has spent the day at the Tony Blair Institute and Emily has been with the Popular Conservatives (PopCons), Liz Truss' former parish.
    After the worst result in their history, how does the Conservative party rebuild?
    And what lessons are those on the right of the party taking away from Thursday night's defeat? Lewis talks to former party treasurer and donor, Lord Michael Spencer, about the direction for the party now.
    Later, crunch time for Joe Biden - will his own party really seek to remove him before the week is done?

    I once travelled the World as a somewhat proudish British bloke. The last ten years have been truly awful. The incompetence and entitlement mixed with hubris is/has been so damaging. However, the new Government gives me great hope.

    Suella makes my skin crawl. The hatred and devision she creates is palpable. If she or Kemi became party leader that would be horrific.

    Mogg was rather snippy there, must still be stinging from getting booted from such a safe seat.

    Braverman is making a weird play, making herself look and feel like a dictator from a George Orwell novel, I’m not sure it’s going to win the popular vote.

    The tories are stuck in the past, they will never learn - I'm very happy to say.

    Really don't want to hear about them for a while, or hopefully ever again. Seriously.

    Total, utter irrelevance. Cruella was whinging about pride flags today, and I didn't even bat an eyelid because she's no longer in a position to dictate her hateful views.

    Funny how we've already moved on from them. Onto better things.

    it's hilarious that her takeaway from the election was "yeah we need to do more culture war"

    Suella is worse than Farage, in my view

    Michael Spencer sums up everything that is vile about the Tories, everyone scratches everyone else's backs and ignores the country that you are supposed to be serving, and we have proved to be corrupt but the opposition might be too, so that's OK then. What an excuse for corrupt politics.

    Tom Tugendhat is the Tories' only hope

    Tolerance. Empathy. Compassion. Strength through diversity. Fairness.

    This guy is the embodiment on what's wrong with this country.....nothing about the country or its people, not a care in the world they absolutely only care about themselves and what they can do for themselves.....climbing the greasy pole by any means necessary....DISGUSTING!!!

    I’m not convinced they have a future.

    Braverman won her seat and didn't go to be sworn in? Class act.

    Surely the Popular Conservatives need a name change just to avoid being accused of false advertising.

    We don’t care about them anymore.
