Are we about to see the emergence of a new One Nation Conservative Party in the UK? [View all]
I could see it happening. The tectonic political plates are shifting beneath our very feet. There has been a coup by the hard right and they are currently playing havoc with the norms of our democracy. BUT, let us not forget that if not for Brexit these right wing zealots would be nowhere need the cabinet, they would be sitting chuntering on the back benches as they have for the last thirty years.
With the 21 kicked out, Amber Rudd quitting the cabinet and the whip, and the Tories like Anna Soubrey and Nick Boles that have already quit there is about 25-27 seats right there. I am also sure that there are members not only of the back benches but in the current cabinet who are already having conversations about still serving under the current administration, or not as the case may be...
There has been an internal coup of about 70 on the hard right. That means 230 – Sorry 208 after the expulsions, Tories who will be shifting very uncomfortably in their constituency seat right now.
We thought it was getting interesting before, hold onto your hats chaps…
PS if you have not read Amber's resignation letter here are the highlights…
BOOM. Amber don't play...
