Too late now son , we’ve had 14 years of abject failure.

[@christiandupille3690]

Nope the uni party same old you’re championing ain’t the answer

[@matthewmachin5614]

He deserved everything he got did Mr gullis he didn’t listen to the people of his constituency, like his party didn’t listen to the people,and his massive spending on helicopter flights!! And how messed up sot is because of this poss tot!!!

[@michaelicornelius]

Wrote to him several times - points were ignored or just a word salad response saying nothing. Neary 70 conservative voter all my adult life, even worked on many elections, never again. This seat won by Boris and then they crapped all over us. Bye Bye You had 14 years, nearly 5 since Red wall demolition and nothing done!

[@jojohn8988]

Gullis became a disgrace the moment he started heaping praise on fishi Rishi as a credible PM

[@jenniferbarry5887]

Sunak did not need to call the election for July, he should have waited for November and let people feel the difference of slowing inflation and bank rates. I think he called it early in an attempt at wrong footing Farage and it has backfired big time.

[@imbonkers3629]

Did you hear them even mention things are changing like , economy grew 0.6% biggest in eu , 2nd biggest in services in the world, went to 4th biggest exporter in the world 🌎 8th biggest manufacturer , no fight at all just a complete mess

[@fredsmith5473]

On the other hand, he may have called it before the summer's illegal migration figures were in and the Rwanda scheme still wasn't working. It's hard to say, but it seems to have taken a lot of Tories by surprise and the campaign was incompetent.

[@774Rob]

@@imbonkers3629 I think Sunak was quite happy to hand power to Starmer.

[@imbonkers3629]

@@774Rob so do I think they planned it together

[@774Rob]

Too late. They had one job which was opposing Labour madness and instead they joined in. Who'd trust them not to do it again?

[@Victorflange]

The very fact someone like Gullis got anywhere near government is the reason the Tories got hammered.

[@imbonkers3629]

Surprised you lost your seat tbh 😮but you need to blame your party and I think they lost on purpose, you made more mistakes in the last 5 years then in Tory history, went from most ruthless, successful party ever to a joke 😮it was deliberate 🙄

[@facelessspoonerism]

Learnt nothing

[@tjj4lab]

Hasn't learnt a single thing. Centre right means making endless concessions to the centre left, when the left never make a single confession to the right, which is why everything has swung to the left on the last 40 years. We need a hard right who will ignore the bleating of the left, civil service ect and drag us back to the real right. No point saying the things wrong with Labour when the Tories have been working hand in hand with Labour for decades. We don't believe the Tories oppose Labour, it's all theatre. They are the same party. More debt, more immigration, more tax, less free speech, more crime, worse services. That's what all three parties have delivered for 40 years, it never gotten any better.

[@eroero830]

Exactly this. It's just woof woof woof. Booo hoo hooo I lost my seat.

[@timcolivet7343]

LOL. The last tory government were a hard right government. And, they got owned!! Boo hoo.... You Brexit voting, racists need to go and crawl under a rock. Losers!!

Nah it’s all over for you sunshine! Labour is next to go! Reform is the answer for the UK!🇬🇧

Tories did't leave a "there's no money" note cos they couldn't afford the paper.

Only lesson here is that ur out and hopefully for good , he absolute disgrace for Newcastle

The funny thing i find about the tories. They could have stayed in power for decades to come, if they only done what they were asked to do.

[@Summernights2024]

Wow jezza your beloved torries have smashed England to bits give others a chance for god sake only been in a few days

[@keithsewell8389]

Here is a man who has lost his grip - as has his party.

[@geoffm9944]

It’s all too late for the Tories - the horse has bolted. The last several years has witnessed multiple failed attempts to resolve our massive domestic problems. Johnson’s three years as PM was a disaster, and left the Tory government and party with almost zero credibility. Sunak talked the talk, but achieved sweet FA. The Tory Party has lost its soul, identity and all sense of political direction. It’s no wonder that over four million ex Tory supporters voted for Reform at the recent election as they wanted a genuine political party which embraced traditional conservative values and principles. The present Tory Party has shifted politically to the woke left, resulting in many of its current MP’s sounding and behaving like Libdems. Reform is the only hope for this country - and their support will continue to grow, leaving an enfeebled Tory Party as an irrelevant political party.

[@stank.629]

I can’t believe that Tory ex mp is talking about inflation in America, easily forgot they broke Britain . What a world.😂

Yes. Be in the centre and go the way of the dodo.

Chaotic is not a strong enough word.

Bitter & twisted, thinks he got a god given right for people to vote for him and Tories.

[@fenderac3049]

I'll throw hat into the ring - Steve Barclay, he voted for Brexit, was in all the Tory Cabinets, quietly got on with the jobs he was given. hasn't slagged anyone in the party.

[@kevinbillington9773]

Cleverly target left and right. That describes a Bi-polar party.

[@melradford-lw6nd]

They had 14years to sort out the Cwangs and they never did that’s why they are in the mess we are in

Standing for Reform instead of the Conservatives may well have kept Jonathan in a job!

[@nevillespence6101]

Arrogant ''person''. Starmer is the best news for Reform, his victory is simply a prelude to the creation of a massive people's movement and a viable British Populist Party that will be capable of governing in its own right within the next couple of years

[@ruthodonnell2350]

Spain are a very good side

[@janpetersen7440]

"We Need To Be Centre-Right Tories". That may be correct. But then the party will probably have to come up with another word than 'conservative'. It will only confuse in that regard.
