The third interviewee said "It's sad how she was treated on social media". 1. Does he know what she did to all of our mortgage rates?! 2. Have you seen her talking about CHEEESE and pOrK MaRkEtS? She's meme/comedy gold, and the ridicule is absolutely deserved.

Tories are clueless scroungers who've never had a proper job in their lives.

Rainbow pin seems like he's got his head screwed on. Apart the the whole Tory thing obviously.

[@tjwtf28]

i always wonder what attracts people like him to the tory party - he disagrees with the way the Tories operate, their views on trans issues, but will then sacrifice that to the wolves because he cares more about the economy... that his party routinely crashed for the last 14 years. So why is he still a tory?

[@christopherchurcher7319]

I think vaguely Cameronite Tories like him are still basically justified in calling themselves Tory members? Even if they probably have a lot of issues with the direction of the party post-2016

[@oliveroconnor5983]

@@tjwtf28people have different priorities and the tories are the only right of centre party in the country who aren’t completely infested with the clinically insane. There’s factions of the Tory party who are liberal on social issues

[@Alexander-yb1zc]

@tjwtf28 43% of the tory membership voted for sunak over truss. There are still a number of centre right tories who have yet to see that they've become the minority in party they've devoted time and energy too for years if not decades. If kimi or jeneric wins, I think we will see a final acceptance and an exodus of the centre right to the lib dems.

[@Boopop1024]

Presumably he disagees with left leaning economic policy but yes, on social issues he seems to be in the wrong party.

“Liz Truss still has something to offer” when did she have anything to offer? If you look closely at her ministerial record it is a record of sheer incompetence that is only surpassed by her arrogance and self delusion.

[@chrisspencer6502]

Liz truss is proof of what we all knew. People vote conservative and like conservative economic policy because they do not know the first thing about economics

[@zxG777]

That young lad is a welcome change, "conservative"... but not a complete c word.

[@rgxwrestlingmedia]

Sake Ed, you're supposed to be interviewing nutters but instead you're making me listen to people who are actually somewhat level-headed. You have me questioning everything I know about the world now and I hope you're proud of yourself. Also, kudos for being out in the rain for 12 hours for this. Thank you.

In another Joe vid he was offering to get Ed Tory merch. In a nice way. Good lad.

[@tjwtf28]

oh i get it, so the idea of reckless tax cuts, increased privatization etc wasn't the issue, it was the timing that was wrong? God it's like arguing with a child, they'll say anything other than admitting their ideology is wrong?

Not sure who the young gentleman was, but he was spot on 🎉

[@potatospade1217]

I think if he’s the future of the conservatives then there’s hope for them yet. I can imagine a future where people like him are in charge of running things. Not sure I could ever be persuaded to vote for them, but we need more people like him in politics.

[@chriselliott726]

The lad needs to grow up and find a party that reflects his views. The Tories really are not for him.

[@Cherrytune386]

She's not worth mentioning at all.

[@slytonesthe]

Why is the guy with the rainbow badge not their new party leader? Imagine a country where it wasnt "us and them".

[@Minimmalmythicist]

I think it´s virtually impossible for sensible moderate Tories to get elected these days, as the party membership and the parliamentary party is full of frothing lunatics. Basically, Johnson kicked out all the sane people in the Tory party. So the Tory party doesn´t really have a "moderate" wing of any kind these days, just different flavours of hard right. Whenever you don´t have debate in an organisation, you get ideological stupidity, and it´s happening in the Starmer era Labour party too. He has the opposite problem though, he´s kicked out his left wing.

[@tomfinney3416]

i agree in broad church thinking and like how they embrace the slug that got beaten by a lettuce , "lower than vermin "

[@AlfaFilms1NZ]

Free Palestine 🇵🇸 -> our country needs to be free of bigots.?..?????

[@Shellewell]

I agree the anti-bigot sentiment is rich from a party where leadership frontrunners will talk about relative validity of cultures, but in fairness I'm pretty sure the guy interjecting did also say "fuck Israel" so there is maybe an argument to be had there around bigotry.

[@nl5828]

@Shellewell being against the policies of israel does not mean those views are bigoted (specifically “anti-semitic”), in the same way that being against the regime in saudi arabia does not mean those views are “islamophobic”!

[@Shellewell]

@@nl5828 sure, in the abstract I agree with you, but there is also no nuance in saying "fuck Israel" between the country itself and its current political regime. One is not bigotry and, arguably, the only moral stance while the other could be argued as bigoted. When somebody is being disruptive of their conversation or interview, few people are going to go "can we clarify that statement" and most will just brush it off like he did, nuanced and strictly accurate or not.

Surely the comeback question to any Tory talking about the Labour vote share is to ask them about their own? Sure, tell us how unsecure the Labour base is, but tell us as well how you are going to get more then 23% that you were able to win last time? And with the same people that were in Cabinet when this happened saying the same things.
