Most of these have zero empathy, no wonder they lost any connection to the general population

[@ScubbyDooks72]

I've always thought of lack of empathy as a characrter flaw, and I suppose, to an extent I still do. I certainly don't surround myself with low empathy people. But I've started to realise that empathy, like any other human characteristic that can be measured (like height, BMI, athletic ability, anything) will ultimately form a bell curve when plotted on a graph of the population at large, with the vast majority of people somewhere the middle, and outliers on each end. It's a shame that people on the extreme low end of the empathy sociopathy spectrum are so successful at convincing so many of those in the middle that they represent them. They are effective precisely because they literally don't give a hoot about anyone besides themselves. That, for me is the foundation of conservatism. People don't get to be super rich by having any sort of conscience about exploiting others. Jeff Bezos could easily afford to pay his workers three or four times what he does without any real impact on his life, but why doesn't he? I guess he needs that money for the first tourist ticket to Mars or whatever. And why would anyone who claims to be patriotic believe a billionaire newspaper owner who goes to extreme lengths to avoid paying tax, and contributing to schools, hospitals and social care that the rest of us do? They can make the right noises about supporting our troops for example, while simultaneously undermining their support. We need to stop thinking of these people as successful examples to emulate, and think more about protecting the majority against their worst excesses.

He looks like he'd be one of the clones from "we are number one".

[@kharn-the-betrayer]

Reese moggs is an interesting character. He longs desperately to be blue blood aristocracy, but the truth is he isn't, his grand father was a Lorry driver, and his grandmother was a homemaker. Their daughter found a job as a secetary to Lord Reese Mogg and was quite a looker who caught his eye, his mother married into it, I do wonder if that is part of the reason for the way he is.

[@archvaldor]

You aren't concerned that Labour only got a third of the vote when their two main opponents were literally investigated by the police? No love for the tories obviously but I do find it DEEPLY ironic that Starmer told those on the left for YEARS how unelectable Corbyn was and ends up 3 million less votes than he got. A blind skunk could have more votes against the tory shower than Starmer did.

[@sierra5360]

The Copium is incredible, almost on the level of Russian influencers telling us their three day war is going well.

[@josephdyson3737]

@@sierra5360 they are in for a long spell as opposition. A lot of them think that Labour will decline and naturally hand them the keys. That is making the mistake of every Labour opposition from 2010 to 2019. That and if Labour do well in government, they could well gain in vote share but potentially not gain seats, as some of the former supporters that deserted them in urban seats may well come back if they see material improvements in their life. Either way, if the Tories think they just have to sit and wait for Labour to mess up and they sweep to power, they’re sorely mistaken.

[@Frserthegreenengine]

@@josephdyson3737 Also those young Tories don't seem to take into account that the turnout at this election was down, a lot of people thought the election was already over and thus didn't bother voting. Kinda similar to what happened in 2001, albeit Labour had 40% of the vote then. Also Voter ID would have played a huge factor in lower turnout as many of the people who were ethnic minority, disabled and young voters, who were more likely to vote Labour, Lib Dem or Greens. Voter ID also put off people from registering as they feared that they would be turned away or that they didn't have the right ID. Lastly, because Labour were so far ahead in the polls a lot of young voters and leftists saw the polls and felt Labour "had it in the bag" and felt they were safe enough to vote Green. If the polls had been closer, I think it's very likely that more of them would have voted Labour to maximise the chances of the Tories getting booted out. Of course many others, esepcially Muslim voters, didn't vote Labour in protest to Labour's inconsistent/confused stance on Gaza. Speculation on my part but I think those factors explain why Labour had a lower share of the vote. Either, If Labour do well, they'll probably win the next election with a reduced majority. It also depends on the Tories, if they move further to the right, then I reckon they will remain in opposition at the next election. If the Tories move to the centre then they might have a much better chance of winning or at least a good chance of winning back many of the seats that they lost.

[@tajj7]

@@Frserthegreenengine And shed loads of tactical voting, people voted to get rid of the Tories, so chose the best party to do that. Labour's vote was likely a lot more around the 40% which is about the maximum the Tories have ever got and most of the time they form a government with about 35%, pretty much the same amount that stupid young one was saying was embarrassing.

Actual experts, people with experience in their brief. Once upon a time that wouldn't even be news but after the last few cabinets, it's revolutionary. I just hope they aren't spooked by Reform. Nigel is like one of those ghosts you need to believe in for them to hurt you, the Tories have run scared of him for decades now, but he really can and should be ignored. We saw today, with that rather pathetic speech, that he's only interested in using his seat for self-promotion. Politically, he's no threat.
