Contender Tom Tugendhat says Conservative party needs a ‘clean start’

  1. He’s not wrong there. But a change in PM isn’t going to achieve that; we need them out of power for at least 10-15 years.

  2. It doesn’t need a Warhawk in charge, though. Invading Iran isn’t the new start we have in mind, Tom.

  3. Tbh out of the all the Tory leader candidates he sounds like the only one who is decent and hasn’t had any scandals.

  4. “We’ve fucked it right up for the last twelve years. Now, with a lick of pain and some new expensive wallpaper, we’ll fuck it up for another twelve.”

  5. That’s literally all he says in everything i’ve seen him in. Clean start this, clean start that, his PR team must have really pushed for him to repeat that sentence as much as humanly possible.

  6. If he really wanted to clean up, an inquiry or two into, well, any of the issues thay caused this leadership election in the first place would be a good start

    It is impossible to learn the mistakes of the past without identifying all of those mistakes beforehand

  7. That’s how it works.

    New frontman and suddenly the public will forgive and believe their bollocks about the ‘previous administration’. Even though it’ll still be the same old cheating, thieving faces in the cabinet.

  8. The conservative party needs to fuckoff to America with all this ‘anti-woke culture war’ bollocks and their clear contempt for the working class.

  9. Clean start! Haha! Christ, the Tories are full on UKIP/ BNP/ Extremist nut jobs. Their party is fucked, I hope the public truly fuck them in the snap election/ GE.

  10. What it needs is a team of forensic accountants from HMRC, a full public enquiry into the spaffed £60 billion and several jail sentences for corporate manslaughter. For starters.

  11. So the choice is…

    (Major) Tom tug hard – former British officer / spy silver spoon

    Rishi Rich – Former banker silver spoon

    Bad Penny – lifelong politician silver spoon

    Liz Truss fund – lifelong politician silver spoon

    Kemi BadEnoch – Alt Right / former banker silver spoon (pretending to have come from nothing)

    I’d say he is the least undesirable of the group as he may be a jingo, whose main goals will be to further the aims and objectives of the security services, but he is probably a patriot and not just a corporate lackey so yeah.

  12. Clean Start?? It’s beyond a clean start, just because johnson is going, doesn’t mean the racism, misogyny, homophobia, dodgy money and general corruption will follow him. The tory party is no better than an organised crime family, They have been in power for 12 years and now with the 4th new PM , they’re going to wave a magic wand and put everything right, only a complete idiot would fall for that bullshit.

  13. Agree, I can’t see a post-Boris Tory party. They’re all tarnished with the same brush: profiteering off covid and PPE, ignoring the cost of living crisis, climate change, worsening the housing crisis etc. and playing up culture wars that the British public doesn’t actually care about.

    None of them seem to know that their job is to make the the UK better and its citizens lives better.

  14. The problem with this country is the electoral system, and it has been that way for 60 years. Nothing constructive is every achieved because it is torn down or undermined by the next change of governing party. Changing to a PR system is probably going to splinter the conservatives, labour and the lib dems, but at least we can get consensus politics instead of rule by a party which the majority of people didn’t vote for. If this isn’t a priority for opposition parties we are going to end up as a one party state.
