Deputy Tory - all going a bit Father Ted

Lefty said:
It is a good question as to whether there are any decent competent Tory Mp's.

There must be some good constituency MP's.

On evidence, it looks like we can discount anyone who has been a Government Minister since 2019.

We can also discount any member of the ERG.

It doesn't seem a coincidence to me that those who voted Remain also seem generally more intelligent, thoughtful and decent, so that might be a good place to start. If you voted Leave that doesn't mean I think you are not decent nor generally intelligent by the way, I'm merely commenting on an apparent correlation when looking at the more prominent Tories. Hestletine, Gauke, Clarke, Grieve, Stewart,

Are there any Tory MP's still in Parliament who voted Remain and have remained consistent on that rather than doing a Frost?

No, because B.F. Johnson started the process in 2019 of filling the parliamentary party with yes men and women. They need to be wiped out and have a serious rethink, but all they seem to be doing is heading further to the extreme right and thinking that will win votes. It doesn't.

I think it is refreshing that the party that brought us the massive act of unnecessary self-harm that is Brexit has caused its own demise by not being able to cope with the task of governing after its Remainers were purged.

TBF they may have brought the referendum on Brexit, however it was voted on & won by a very diverse political crosection..

Aye, they see votes going to reform and are coming to the conclusion it's because they're not right wing enough.

I suspect it's far more likely they're losing votes to reform because even right wingers can see how utterly inept and incompetent they are, but won't vote for a party to the left of the tories.

Those are protest votes over their inability to govern effectively , not their politics. But that penny will never drop for the tories so certain are they of their own exceptionalism, despite all evidence to the contrary.

Wait, that extract isn't genuine surely? I thought it must be satire?!

That was my thought. Only one source on twitter I could find.

Of course hard to find anyone who has genuinely read the thing.

I mean it's probably satire, but with stories about the tories these days I just don't know what to believe. I feel like David Mitchell on the receiving end of a Bob classic.

I need Ron Waffle and John Caramel to investigate this.
