That’s not going to win back the Blue Wall. Maybe Rupert Lowe. Even Reform voters don’t like crypto fox hunters.

Trail hunting, while superficially similar to the established sport of drag hunting, was an entirely new invention in 2005 ...

And nothing to do with her brief shadowing Ed Miliband which I assume she's become very bored with. As Ed does the hard yards while Courthino spurts out Tufton Street fossil fuel lobbying nonsense.

Whereas cousin-marriage and gender separation are centuries old traditions amongst the British upper classes and Burka wearing is very popular with their oil baron chums in Saudi and the UAE.

Indeed. If you want a society where women can't control their own affairs, where head coverings are commonplace for them, and where entire sections of society are off limits to them, I give you Britain in the 1970s.

Yeah, that's a much more positive conservative case than is normally made.

I actually wrote to my MP about not breaking off the Palantir NHS contract (while saying that I didn't want them given anything else), because NHS records are diabolical. Something important wasn't on my records when I saw a consultant, and it was only the fact that I mentioned it in passing that enabled him to diagnose me properly and not waste a load more NHS money on useless tests.

She didn't agree with me, disappointingly. It's one of those things where everyone says "brilliant! you've shown a spine!" and blames you anyway down the line anyway if things don't improve like they should have.

Wrong thread, I'll move the post to 'Conservatives Generally.'
