Scaring people and pandering to their prejudices is a noble way forward - and Suella Braverman, Home Secretary blew hard as she warned a 'hurricane of migrants is coming' for Britain with 'millions' of new arrivals. In some sophisticated analysis Suella warned conference that Labour voters want open borders because they have the 'luxury' of not needing to worry about their jobs or child grooming gangs.
And brave Suella continues her fearless war on woke with the following pithy interventions
'We stand with the many, the law abiding hardworking, common sense majority. Against the few, the privileged woke minority with their luxury beliefs who wield influence out of proportion to their numbers' . For a conservative politician, in a party bank rolled by rich individuals, it takes some blindness to accuse others of having 'luxury beliefs who wield influence of of proportion to their numbers' Or maybe this is the brilliance of a politician so wedded to their craft that they can take the criticisms other smake of their position and turn it round as a criticsim on their critics?
'Our message to the people is clear. We are raising our game, we are fighting for a Britain that puts your first. We are on your side.' The austerity packages of the early conservative years comes as a reminder of how very much they are 'on your side'
' We are the trade union of the British people' - in which case they need to learn how to start standing up for their members.
'The British people will get to decide if they want to curb woke with Rishi Sunak or let it run riot with Keir take-the-knee Starmer.' Yes well spotted on the decision point - its called an election, a quaint feature of a democratic country
Now we're planning to rent prison spaces from other foreign countries because we don't have the prison capacity - announces Alex Chalk, the Justice Secretary, citing the Government intends to have a look 'at the Norwegian example and explore renting overseas capacity'. At least he is now planning to do something. But only a politician could make an announcment which basically says 'we've only been in charge for 23 years but have only just noticed that we're running out of prison space, so we're going to plan to do something about that, somthing we should have done 5 years ago'
And with friends like these, who need enemies? - Mr Farage apparently told GB News: 'Would I want to join a party that's put the tax rate up to the highest in over 70 years, that has allowed net migration to run at over half a million a year, that has not used Brexit to deregulate to help small businesses? No, no and no .....I achieved a lot more outside of the Tory party than I ever could have done from within it.'
