Let’s be clear: this Conservative party is dead. Those who killed it should own up so we can move on | Justine Greening

The local elections wipeout proves that out-Reforming Reform cannot and does not work. Both Tories – and Labour – need to rethink hard and fast, says writer and former Conservative MP Justine Greening

Justine Greening, the former Tory MP, argues that the current Tory strategy of going after Reform voters isn’t working. She seems to think the Tories should try to capture centrists instead (which is what David Cameron did, I would argue).

The party has attempted to be a “mini-me” version of Reform UK, and unsurprisingly Reform voters prefer the real thing. And this strategy’s consequential alienation of Conservative-leaning centre-ground voters has seen them head off to either the Lib Dems or Labour, or to the Green party. The party has no winning majority in any age group of voters other than those over 70. This is no basis for a successful electoral strategy for the longer term.

      He did.

      (I’m not happy with him, he feels Tory Medium, but wouldn’t go so far to call him a kid killer. BJ killed hundreds of thousands with his corruption during the pandemic, and got away scot free)

          Kid Starver is a simp for Israel. I’m guessing he takes his cues from his Zionist wife as well as the Labour friends of genocide
