50,000 is a lot in terms of cost and planning, but is not a lot in terms of capacity required.
Even worse is to be paid for by cutting overseas aid. Which will drive increased immigration.

A few, but on the flip side, most of the ones in charge are now in Reform so arguably they *are* different. Not better though. Otherwise Badenoch wouldn't be in charge.

Well, we'd never have guessed she had a high opinion of herself.

I think she sees them as positives. And that's the problem.

Maybe somebody should point out to her that even Conservative MPs are elected to represent their constituents not Ms Badenoch. Pretty fundamental stuff.

...and the triple lock which I'm sure she was against before the changes were proposed. (But after the 2024 election obs).
Cannot be seen to agree with a labour proposal.

There are valid arguments around the >£100k marginal tax rates, even when made by Dan Neidle. There are some apparently insane consequences once childcare is taken into account.

There's humour, humour, then there's this Tory re-imagining of the Bayeux 'Tapestry', which is supposedly going to be 88ft long, for the party conference. People often inadvertently tell us who they really are through the sort of things they think are funny/clever.

A pity her imagining herself doing the Thatcher-tank thing has her in a Panzer.

That’s rats leaving a sinking ship and everyone getting the plague and dying because all the brown people who worked in the NHS left in a boat to escape from Kimi Jong Un.
The cats where horrified.

That's got to be it, because not even the Tories would show all immigrants to be black, and liken them to rats, as that racist trope is waaay too obvious, right?

I think they are seriously under appreciating how many people value environmental protection, clean rivers / beaches etc. with their pledge to scrap the EA and Natural England, do away with BNG, cut planning oversight and so on. I’m not sure many voters want that, I’m as pro-development as anyone and even I think it’s ridiculously dangerous but someone with a bit of money obviously has the ear of the Shadow Chancellor.
