Glad to see the Tory narcissist party continues to put themselves first no matter how much it costs the other 65 million of us
They never cared about population...
Tory party put themselves first, always have. The country can go to the dogs which is where we are heading.
It's cute that you think there's only 65 million of "us"
This is not the Conservative Party.
The Party has been infiltrated by WEF globalists and is now doing their bidding rather than voters. Thats why there is so much conflict within the party, its between the democratic conservatives and the antidemocratic globalists.
@@SaintGerbilUK most people are not stupid there's the real world party torys and fantasy world labour torys grow economy then people want fantasy Labour destroy and people know only the torys can fix it we'd still be living like pesents to keep coal mine worker's from striking if it wasn't for the torys real life isn't what you want it to be
As an Irishman I always laugh at the Tories … for a very special reason.
The name Torai was given to the landowners in Parliament by Titus Oates in 1685. That have used it as a name and then a nickname since then.
One problem.
It means “highway robber”.
So, no, I am never going to trust a party called the “Highway Robber Party” in my language.
I don't know why anyone trusts a Tory in any language
It was a name given to Irish who supported the Catholic King Charles during the civil war. It was Irish people who wanted to see a British return to state Catholocism.
Glad to see you see your fellow Irish as Brigands.
At least their name is honest lol
There's Tory Island off County Donegal.
@@0w784g erm.
1) The Irish Civil War was in 1922.
2) James was still the King in 1685
3) The “glorious revolution” was 1688
4) Conservative Party call themselves Tories
5) The landowners of Ireland at the time were English and not Irish.
Are you absolutely devoid of historical knowledge? Or just a troll?
Wait. Just saw your pro Brexit posts.
It’s both.
The last 7 years of insanity was all foisted upon us to try to stop the tories splitting, and yet it probably only delayed their internal strife a little.
Party politics needs to end.
End Playground Politics.
The Tories need to end.
@@coppershark1973 Undemocratic.
@@iwasborn8470 Erm No.
There are 15 political parties in the House of Commons. If the Torai were to split into the true “conservatives” and the “Torai” there would be 16. How is the end of a political party undemocratic?
I’ll tell you what is undemocratic. Matt Hancock’s constituency. Go look. At one point it is the width of a road so it includes Newmarket and helps the Tories stay in power. That is undemocratic … and they’ve just organised stealing another eight seats in the next boundary changes.
End corruption … break up the Tories.
Borris selling honors like trump was selling pardons 😂
Jobs for the boys,well done my good and faithful servant , nothing changes arselickers United ....
Except every US Presidents does that. Bill Clinton pardoned his drug pushing brother.

So he quit. He could have remained as an MP, fought his corner in the House to try to persuade them to overturn the Committee's punishment. If he failed there, he could return to his constituency to try to stop any recall petition. If he failed there he can still stand as an MP in the upcoming by-election. He has 3 opportunities to stand up and fight but no, he decided to run like "Brave Sir Robin". Just like he did in the last leadership election....
Quickly ran away away!
Maybe there was no large fridge available for BoJo to hide in ?
@@jeremymanson1781 Just what I was thinking! 🤣 Maybe there was but he was worried about the big lock on the outside...
The problem is he does not suffer fools gladly and sat watching Hunt in charge pulling the strings of Rishi Sunak using him as the Fall guy when the Tories lose the next election which they will. Hunt is in charge.
Brave Sir Robin ran away.
("No!")
Bravely ran away away.
("I didn't!")
When danger reared it's ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
("I never!")
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
("You're lying!")
Swiftly taking to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat.
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin!
It's a bit late to say the Tories have been split. More like diced.
Yeah, but they're tribal, they'll pull together long enough to fight the next election.
Eh, don't underestimate them. The Tories are the cockroaches of politics, they survive anything.
@@CountScarlioni they don't just break the rules of the game, they make the game so they can then break the rules of their game, for toff humour.
@@CountScarlioni for sure but it's been open warfare for a long time, and it's gradually escalated since Thatcher, to the point where they have thrown the country under a big red bus in an attempt to save the party.. but the right of the party want to double down on the crazy, so now they have no viable leader, the best of their "broad church" is Sunak, a leader so weak it takes days of open speculation before he dares to try to put down Johnson. Their party is a real mess which I'm happy about, but they are taking everyone down with their stinking neolibralist s̶h̶i̶p̶ shit.
Welcome to late stage capitalism.
@@CountScarlioni Yes, also remember that their party nickname was taken from the Irish Gaelic word for “highway bandit”. Oh wait … they’ve been called that since 1685.
Maybe the English aren’t very clever. 🤷
If you’re still waiting for a Tory split after they kept things together through Brexit, you’re going to be forever disappointed. This party is very adept at putting their issues aside to damage this country as much as possible.
That was when they were winning. Now they are expecting to lose, so the blame game begins!
@@markwelch3564 They were polling behind in 1993 and still won vs Labour so nothing can be guaranteed, its not like Labour are particularly strong rn either, they are winning on the not being the tories vote
@@markwelch3564 The question is if they have potential to win another election (next 2-4 elections), if they do then it makes sense to stay together. But if they don't have another chance it makes sense to split up so they can push more specific agendas as the ones they have are more vague due to the size of the party. I think if Truss and Kwateng didn't blow up their old reputation for safe hands then we wouldn't be in this position but it was the conservatives who voted her in, so they probably thought she wouldn't be as extreme or be smart about it.
The greatest fear for torys however was going into 3rd place after lib dems which they seem to have done by removing Truss, whether it's successful will be seen by the next election. Once you're in third place, there will be greater numbers of people voting as it's clearer that everyone votes matters more and when that occurs it will be a quicker slide in vote share. The torys need to stem the tide with Sunak and make it clear they still have the clout to stay in second place. Splitting the party up so that as a whole they have more than lib dems + greens is definitely an option though, it just depends how much damage Boris and Truss did though.
Remember there were a few labour and conservatives who left their party and created & dissolved Change UK in 2019, but that was on a much smaller scale. As Boris & Corbyn was still pro-Brexit and they didn't want to join Lib Dems as they felt they could create a groundswell of like minded centrists to join them.
Starmer was a remainer but has constantly denied having another referendum which caused Labour to lose some vote share to Lib Dems, if Conservatives do split I reckon many might even change allegiances to Lib Dems or form another centrist party. My preferred outcome is that the next government is a coalition of 3 parties in a group of 10 parties have a spectrum, and closer to true democracy and not the current duopoly where people aren't being represented as well.
@@agonzalez7095 don't you mean 1992? Yes labour was ahead that time but only just, it was actually pretty close. And in truth in that year's election Tories did have loses and labour had gains, but it wasn't enough to change the majority. That eventually happened in 1997. If we're using historical analogues the current situation really is an in-between of 1992 and 1997, and if things continue the way it is now for the Tories things might be sliding more towards the latter of the two.
@Alex Prachuablarb the gotcha is that so long as elections are First Past The Post, there's only room for one right wing party. Expect the contest for who leads it, and in which direction, to be vicious!
And then they accuse other countries of corruption and nepotism... His own father?
😂😂😂. Because he gave birth to him
David Cameron really is the UK’s 13 reasons
@@NomadicByNature true but that fact that he made it an option for the public at the height of nigel Farage's (and other small minded idiots) popularity was a terrible move.
He did it to protect his popularity but that decision will go down in history as the thing which killed his career
Looking at the general anti-EU feeling in the UK in 2016, there was bound to be a referendum on it sooner or later. Cameron decided to call it under his leadership, meaning he would be able to campaign in favour of Remain. It turned out badly, of course, but one can hardly blame David Cameron for the result.
@@MagicSecretsandMysteries everyone claims that it should be the will of the people when their cause is popular and that politicians should show leadership when it isn't.
Cameron gave the British people the option and they chose. Might not have been the smart chose, but that's democracy.
@@somethinglikethat2176 @somethinglikethat2176 i agree with that a lot though the amount of misinformation that was being backed by MPs, who probably didn't know any better, definitely took a toll on the referendum. (EDIT: replacing the word "election" with "referendum")
Not enough was said about the EU's benefits by Cameron's side whilst the "leave campaign" was willing to deceive the public with fabricated statistics *specifically targeting each demographic groups and industires* in order to delude them into thinking that leaving was a good idea.
The "remainers" pretty much went on TV and gave a general blanket statement like: "the EU gives us so many benefit" and then proceeded to state the same 3/4 talking points on loop. The "leavers" were listing every reason under the sun and also made up so much utter bull... and this pretty much overwhelmed the people on the supposed benefits of leaving the EU.
If Cameron put in even a fraction of the effort he put into getting elected, things would have turned out differently and he wouldn't be the joke he is today. His good intentions doesn't matter as much as his actions
@@johnwatson9415 Every poll before the referendum put the E U well down in list of concerns. It was the usual economy, health, education, immigration etc. The referendum was purely to silence the tory EU haters. Cameron thought remain would win easily that's why he didn't go for a minimum result of 60 to 40 to leave. He was so convinced that he said even a one vote margin would do. Cameron is to blame for the mess we are in now.
Kick the Tories out.

Loving Volo's guide to Monsters in the background while discussing the Tory monsters who have done much damage to the country
0:27 The Netflix posters are brilliant!! 😂😂
If Brexit was a Netflix series:
Season 1: General election of 2015, the story of a catastrophic promise and loving pigs too much.
Season 2: Prelude to Brexit, Can’t barrage the Farage and the curious tale of an uncombed blonde guy and his red bus
Season 3: Brexit shock reveal, the end of the beginning and resignation of David Cameron
Season 4: May’s coming and it’s still cold, shocking election across the pond (spin off/filler episodes), and the calm before the storm.
Season 5: Parliament in chaos, the desolation of many deals, the EU claps back and a loss of a majority.
Season 6: The end of May is not the beginning of June, an unexpected return of uncombed blonde guy and the looming dangers of no deal.
Season 7: Blonde guy wants to get Brexit done, a huge majority won, the tales of the red bus continue (featuring Northern Ireland under it) and is a deal finally in sight?
Season 8: Face off! Blonde guy takes on EU while NI still laying down pretty comfy under the red bus. Deal has been reached but can it save the UK?
Season 9: Tales of a Varus, red tapes and an economic disaster unfolding. The never ending ballad of Tory ineptitude.
Season 10: Of parties and men, bye bye Boris, the departure of the red bus and the literal end of an era (special Queen edition)
Season 11: A new menace arises: Can we trust Truss? growth growth growth, markets in turmoil and a crashing economy. How long will she survive? Find out next Episode on Britain’s Got Talent! Season finale expected within a month.
Season 12: How to outlast a lettuce and what happens if you don’t. Dishy Rishi becomes PM: Stability or more mayhem? A looming election and damning prospects for the Tories.
What is it going to take to get some of these thieving scoundrels behind bars?
One of the main reasons Boris has scuppered away from Uxbridge and South Ruislip is because of the demographics of the seat. It will go Labour regardless of the situation, it’s a London-wide trend. At this rate it’s not impossible to imagine the Cities of London and Westminster going Labour, especially with the new boundary changes that actually favour Labour in a lot of areas.
Don’t expect anything different, I live in a Labour area of North Ealing and they are equally as useless as the Conservatives.
Which is the main reason I don’t vote anymore, I don’t have to be disappointed on a regular basis.
Between them they have absolutely NOTHING to offer….
In the 2019 election the Welsh electorate voted in a majority of Labour MPs, the Northern Irish voted away from unionist parties and in Scotland the conservatives lost more than half their seats. It was the English electorate who were responsible for Boris's success - and hopefully, now that they've seen the light, it will be the English who will punish the tories for what he's done to the UK. Fingers crossed.
👏👏👏👏👏
I wouldn't hold your breath, stupidity still reigns
Brexit consequences will go on and on in so many different ways
Glad the podcast is back. Unbiased news is great but the commentary from you guys is fantastic
Always highly suspicious when someone emphasizes that a news source is 'unbiased'. It almost always means 'sharing my bias'. Just like how people from every town in your country except your own 'have an accent'.
The next general election can't come soon enough. Vote these clowns out.
"TORIES! with a government like us who need terrorist" - Honest Government Ads
Sunak should scrap the honors list completely. He may as well at this point.
"You were the beginning of the end" on Cameron's face is very on-point. Good work, graphics person.
This man is a blight on the United Kingdom
Thank you.
When are you gonna start streaming a TLDR D&D campaign? You have the books ready to go on the shelf behind you after all.
Boris might try and become Sunak's Dominic Cummings
not former disgraced prime ministers.
I loved the poster's haha.
Some smells just cling on. We have a former president like that in the US.
Hopefully
Ever since I moved to the UK in 2009, we've never been so close to a Labour's victory in general elections... I wonder whether it's gonna be a landslide one next year :(
The Tories are and have always been intrinsically split .
They seem to love infighting , it seems to be their forte .
Trouble is they are VERY good at pulling together when needed, benefitting on our short term memory loss
It's utterly shameful that even after all this Tory misgovernance Labour still leads by only 14 points. Keir Starmer should immediately announce some bold policies like 2nd EU Referendum, Abolishing House of Lords, Directly endorsing Tactical voting by not standing candidates in Southern England seats.
That sounds like a good way to lose a 14 point lead
Starmer has realised all he has to do to win is not be the Tory party. He's u-turned on almost all of his promises to the Labour membership that elected him. He's just waiting his turn to drain us of our money now.
No. If you're Labour you run on a platform of not being the Tories.
"Bold policies" like that would be (in the words of Sir Humphrey Applebee) a very courageous decision.
By "bold policies" do you mean "policies i personally would like to see" because all of those are horrible ideas that would turn voters against them
If we had P R we would not need tactical voting. I will be voting at next election whoever I think will beat our sitting tory M P. I will wait for local polling when time comes.
Let us hope so.
Can’t find the podcast link
8:00 atleast britain HAS transport, if you want to go anywhere without a car in the US you're walking.
If his actions do indeed result in a fracture of the Tory party it will be the only good thing to come out of his political career.
Anything concerning the House of Lords always makes me laugh and think about the Brexiteers argument of EU being a non-democratic institution BS... When was the last time ANY Brit voted for the House of Lords???? hahaha.. funny!
You really should explain how someone resigns from parliament especially for your non British viewers
The MPs in question didn't assume they had lordships: BoZo *assured* them they had. More fool them for believing him, although Mad Nad's hissy fit is amusing.
Oh boy! Some good ol' spoiler effect is exactly what the tories need right now 😂
So BoJo was troublemaking by getting them to resign! Man he really is a piece of work 🤣
I am two minutes into the video and I AM SO LOST
I imagine: A World where the public has the wits to just not listen to characters such as Boris and Liz...🤔
Scotland doesn't, never will, not easy gulled ..
@@georgejob2156 Scotland know shit when they hear it. Always like the style of saying it as it is.
@George Job Yet they still vote for the SNP. The Scots have been had like everyone else, i'm afraid 😮💨
Umm, didn't Johnson resign over a year ago, with Liz Truss taking over, followed by Richie Sunack?
Sunday would have rejected all of the corrupt peerages anyway this practice needs to stop it is unbelievably corrupt
Sunak should kick Johnson to the Lords instead,
Jeez, the UK deserves better.
And after all he did, wouldn't he be indicted or prosecuted? Abuse of power, lying repeated to Parliament? No?
So Dorries and the other MPs could have had peerages, but they decided to forgo that to stay MPs as long as possible, not understanding that they lost out for good
He did that long time ago, even before his leadership.
We can only hope.
That Volos book expecting to return in another cameo?
At 4:42 you say "polling predicts [the Conservatives] should win by 5 points", then showing a prediction which has them up only 1.3 points. Which is it?
Don’t build your hopes up
If you live in either of these three constituencies why would you vote for a party that has turned it's back on you?
Because Diane Abbott drank a can of gin on a train? 🤦🏽
Finally
Nah. While for a long time the Tories are three - not necessarily exclusive - factions: aristocratic land owners, neo-liberals, and ardent xenophobic nationalists, they've been able to hold it together. After all, they all share the belief that anyone weaker than you is fair game for abuse and exploitation. Can't see them splitting up now.
Would be good news if they did split though. The left is far more split than the right, so a split within the Tory party might help even things out at least a bit.
You're actually mentally ill, what world are you living in?
Im sure you consider "ardent xenophobic nationalists" to be anyone that thinks immigration needs to have a limit.
@@lesigh1749 grow up
What we seem to be seeing right now is an increase in "bad apples" within the Tories. Parliaments old-fashioned rules are largely honour-based gentleman's agreements that presume that acting MP's will act with some minimal degree of dignity and common courtesy when in office, but the rate of scandals within the party suggests a trend towards Johnson-style shameless abuse of parliamentary privileges over any sense of "bigger picture" planning. They may have shared some ideology or ambition before but now with the party so weak it's a matter of personal enrichment over any team effort.
I mean, he would rather go off to the US and make half a million a speech than take his 80k a year for being an MP and dealing with all the shit he’s getting here
Don’t know about splitting it, but he has royally screwed it. Truss did not help either. What a farce.
Please, please, please split the party!
Please call the new party "the Tory Party" (it not being the formal name of the current party). Confusion all around.
Sadly I think the Tory party has too many sensible people in it to let a such a goon ruin it.
LOL, and a sitting MP who resigns can never be an MP again (House of Profit under the Crown appointment)- 3x wastes of space gone.
Will he just go away already
SOMEBODY NEEDS TO GET A PARTITION GOING TO GET Boris hauled into court ,charged, fined heavy, maybe prison and pay back all tax payers money for his defence and inquiry
Johnson should be behind bars.
The tories have been split for a long time....the question is ill the right wing of the party going to actually split away to another party
I see you guys got a DND book on the shelf over there
I still find it weird how Johnson got into all this trouble for breaking lockdown rules despite pretty much having a near death experience from covid. Wouldn't "once bitten, twice shy" work on most people?
Clearly that depends on whether you believe his Covid illness was as serious as was made out at the time.
I have read that there is reason to think Johnson 'slightly' dramatised his own unpleasant encounter with covid.
He's a real life, grown-up version of Eric Cartman so naturally he would survive, and learn absolutely nothing
I don't find it odd, simply because his Government made the rules. His Government stood before the public telling them the rules and putting forward campaigns telling people the rules. So when Downing Street were found as an employer to have broken the rules more then anyone else it's no surprise this blew up even with Boris's own experiences with the virus.
The accusation is that he lied to parliament over it as he said that the rules weren't broken. His defence has been he didn't intentionally lie to parliament and he believed the rules were followed. Which when you factor in he led the Government that made the rules and told the public not to break them. Ultimately his defence is incompetence.
Neat
Will he split the Tories? We live in hope.
0:27 Also those are brilliant! Haha!
He will form his own party ,The Boris Johnson Circus Party.
The BJ Party hahahaha
The tories has cut off their johnson
Poundshop version of Jet Lag, eh.
If I said what I thought I'd be chucked off RUclips
I wish.
A split in the Tories might help the party return sanity. Get rid dead wood.
You next reform candidate is??
Bubblehead Johnson!!!!
Come on down!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
How weary one is, of the ways of men............
Splitting the Tories - starting a new party would require work. Boris is lazy a.f.
Terminal splits have been predicted for political parties for at least the half century, at least as far as my failing memory recalls
It wasn't a terminal split, but after Blair won in 97, the Tories did descend onto all sorts of chaos for many years...
Nice D&D book on the shelves!
Volos guide to monsters?
He’ll just swap jumpers with one of his mates and try and sneak back in
Can't wait for the political debut of Joris Bonson, MP
I'd have picked him to do a run at the leadership pre next GE.
Wait didn't Mophead retire years ago?
Farage talking up Boris in Reform is disconcerting. Sir Nigel needs to come back and lead. Tice has done a great job as caretaker but it's time to bring out the big guns.
It's rumoured that Mad Nad's drinks like a Lord, but there is no need to make her one. Hopefully they will all be gone in the new future as there is reform on the cards to make it an majority being elected. I cannot see the likes of Mad Nad's or the Comedy Toff's services being needed after that
Fingers crossed
Do the MPs that quit still get their patronage or can Sunak reject individual people on the list?
The bookies put Lib Dems as favourites in mid Bedfordshire
no they done it to themselves just look at the state of the country
Or will he do us all a favour and just split?
No , only his trousers .
Can’t we just fire him into the sun?
Boris Johnson has dragged enough good things down with him it's high time he dragged some bad things down with him
I'm tired of politics...
..just tired.
Labour be like: *popcorn eating GIF*
The issue here is putting all of the attention on these corrupt criminals. It's their supporters that are the real problem. Do not let them live peacefully in society as they are trying to hurt you.
His ego is indeed big enough to destroy the Tory Party. Here’s hoping 🤞
Rishi could take a page out of Tony Sopranos book and have him whacked.
No won't split them. Just a few very loud fools in his fan club.
