- “The Tories are already behaving like the opposition”
The Conservative party have “thrown off winning the election” and are concentrating on a core circle of votes, says The Times political columnist Rachel Sylvester.

0.05% of uk is trans. Can we focus on things that matter and leave these people alone?
About 0.6 actually, based on surveys as opposed to official recognition, but yeah absolutely.
Trans people are the tories secret culture wars weapon we're there supposed wild card since nothing else they're doing is working they're throwing up smokescreens again.
Pretending the average person in the UK cares about Gender equality law is hilarious
I care about that trans swimmer in America taking medals from the women! Not the fact I am living on cheap pasta and pesto 5 days a week even though I work full-time and can barely afford my £735 a month rent for a bedsit!
@@liamjones9115 sorry to hear about your situation mate, i hope things pick up. It's not right and you deserve better.
Are you content with seeing men entering women's prisons? It is a fundamental issue which should never be ignored.
True. Nobody gives a flying f about gender bloody whatever...
@@liamjones9115 👏. Well said Liam - stick in there. Hoping for better days ahead for us all.
Kemi Badenoch is one of the most entitled politicians l have ever seen. She thinks we all have to listen to what she wants to talk about. If this is the future of the Tory party good luck with that.
It has a future?
She is a child emulating a nasty old geezer.
With any luck the Tories don't have future.
@@alanwatterson2850: Well, it depends on what happens over the next 5 years. Will the Conservative Party absorb the Reform Party, or will the Reform Party absorb the Conservative Party? Because there’s no question that they will be merging - that’s the only way they will get in power. The right can’t afford to be split into separate parties the way the left has been for decades.
@@timonsolus Fair comment. Their future will largely be determined by how Labour performs.
Badenoch is a great example of pure arrogance blended with pure ignorance.
Badenoch should be well placed to talk about sexual predators as most of them are in the Tory party
Crispin Blunt😮😮😮😮

What evidence do you have for that?
Chris Pincher - Pincher by name, pincher by nature
"It's a safety issue" - someone who has absolutely zero evidence that it is a safety issue whatsoever
*Libby Purves knows a lot about safety on boats, particularly concerning the head* ⛵🚽😆
where do they find them
The coming clear out of Tory MPs from parliament will do far more for women's safety than Kemi Badenoch's musings...
It's a *made up* safety issue. It's like the requirement of photo IDs when voting being pushed to address the almost non-existent menace of in-person voter fraud, only it's addressing something that happens even less frequently than in-person voter fraud which almost never happens.
He asks the right question, it can't be such a pressing safety issue if the tories have done nothing with it for years and years.
I am disabled by long covid. I was unable to access any benefits. As these frauds show, to access them you need the support of a full time, specialist business. I paid all my taxes. Help is denied me when i need it. Never vote tory.
I’m sorry for your situation. It’s shameful but is typical of the heartless society we now live in.
@@michaelc3051 it is the benefits system working as they intended.
Obviously the Tories thoughts on public toilets are always welcome
It's the issue everyone is going to.😅
Most public toilets have been closed in the last fourteen years.
Perhaps Kemi Badenoch should spend more time inspecting public toilets personally (particularly the bowls)
😂😂😂 Tories are finished.
Never heard of Kemi Badenoch but will look out for gender ankst when bill drop in letter box.
@@freevent28: Don’t worry about Kemi Badenoch. She’ll probably lose her seat in the election, and that will be the end of her political career, at least for the next 5 years.
Why is what JK Rowling has to say at all relevant? What are her qualifications?
As a black woman she can be set on other black's and women without a racist comeback. that is her purpose in a
She has a lot of followers on X.
@@timonsolus She's worked out how to turn "I find this icky" into something that sounds reasonable. An impressive, but entirely meritless achievement.
Tories talking about everything except the NHS, Lack of housing being built and money in to public services
The tories have skinned the public services down to the bones
Lack of houses being built?? You've no idea... I deliver bricks and blocks to sites and I've never seen building on a scale like this. 8,000 -10,000 house developments being built all over the country... there are so many that some sites are closing down mid-build because there's nobody buying them.
Stop listening to left-wing media and educate yourself.
Badenoch upset that she was expected to know what her own party's policies are. The Tories are joke.
Dentist appt would be good - it’s been 7 years - how come opticians have their systems in place but not dentists ??
Wow. I can get one in hours in Oz. What have they done to your country?
In the US, I can get a walk in appointment in 2 hours. We just pay for healthcare with our soul and get loaded with debt. But dentistry itself is fairly cheap here. But it’s all wrapped up together in a bundle of expensive insurance.
Genuinely heard this for the last 12 years. And inexplicably the Tories always end up in power. Ffs
Not this time buddy. These Tories are going down hard. Just enjoy the show lad.
Out of jail soon.
Just look at the seat polls, they will be out for sure
Classic Tories. When faced with the prospect of having to work hard, they would much rather resign or throw their toys out of the pram and complain that it's just 'not fair.' They think their above it, too good for it.
Not even two weeks in and it's all too much for them.
Badenoch is too thin skinned to be an MP
Small, furry creatures from Alpha Centauri have a far greater understanding of the pressing issues of the day compared to your average Tory.
Cant we just combine 2 useless Tory policies and send JK Rowling to Rwanda?
🤣
No. Send Badenoch instead.
They should do the decent thing and go to Rwanda.
There is about enough seating space in a Boeing or an Airbus for 300-odd Tory MPs.
@@baltasarnoreno5973 There's a good chance a Boeing's doors will fall off ,, aaah.
Isn't Rwanda in enough trouble?
You haven't forgotten about the VIP-lane for those offering to deliver PPE during the pandemic, have you? I believe the alleged profit taken out of ONE of those companies and hidden in a tax-haven was 28 million.
Dressing bigotry as a safety issue is not a good look
Nobody cares about culture wars. Bye bye Tories
Is it just me, or do others find Rachel Sylvester's lop-sided headphones really distracting?
"The culture war phase"??? The Conservatives have been in that phase for the last 14 years. That seems to be their only talking point since Brexit is taboo.
They can only talk about issues which actually have little to do wtih politics as they are social issues which society addresses over time, not via legislation.
A unique number we could use the you know the Unique National Insurance Number.
Kemi is so rude and arrogant, I hope she loses her seat in the coming GE
It is commendable that politicians worldwide have been able to focus on secondary and tertiary issues, which cost the governments nothing, and push serious economic concerns to the back.
Badenoch's deranged rambling nonsense absolutely sums up the poverty of ideas that runs through the whole party like a stick of rock.
"Well-nourished, well-organised people with filing cabinets!" I love that turn of phrase!
*I LIVE IN BULGARIA* this is not Bulgarian behaviour - not the criminality, the level of organisation. I love this place but it IS the least organized place on earth.
This old bird talking about this being a "safety issue" - what's the data on that? Or is it a good old fashion dog whistle to the bigoted
As someone who’s worked for Churchills grandson (DWP contract winner).
It’s no shock fraud is rampant.
Honestly, I think the majority of people have moved on from the culture war stuff. People are more concerned about the cost of the weekly shop and paying the mortgage.
This lady talks sense. Concerns demand facts not promises. She is very good.
Very true. It's all over for the Tories.
Any chance Kemi Badenoch will lose her seat?
Quite a good chance actually. She’s more likely to lose her seat than Braverman or Patel.
With any moral substance left, I truly hope they have given up. They have not only betrayed the people of this country, but been so incredibly complacent that they have also gone completely against everything CONSERVATIVE!
Amusing, they already knew they were finished over two years ago...
One of the things I most enjoy about radio is the attention it brings to individuals’ voices. Rachel Sylvester has a small-sounding voice which nevertheless fascinates and compels one to listen. The fact that she also talks sense holds one there. Liz Truss’s voice, by contrast-well, let’s not be unkind.
*Libby Purves knows an awful lot about safety on boats, especially when it comes to using the head* ⛵🚽💩🤭
The Tories can't talk about " basics " - they've fu&%ed them up !!
That means men can wash women in hospital ?
Badenoch is exceptionally tetchy when challenged, and exceptionally poor at thinking on her feet. Tories should be careful what they wish for if they put her in charge after the election: she's going to be dire.
I don’t think there’s much chance of that. Badenoch is more likely to lose her seat in the election than Braverman or Patel.
The probability of the Tories going for good proves that people should never give up hope.
They gave up 5 years ago....correction, they gave up 14 years ago
💯 time for ID.
Everything gets better and more efficient.
After 14 years - they know now how the rest of us feel
They not to give up.... permanently
and this was before farage's intervention.😆😆😆
They were never going to get back in there hopeless.....and liars
...and a lettuce ...cmon...
Prisons ok, Hospital wards don't be silly.
The original Conservative defensive strategy to protect their core vote against Reform, was using Sunak in a tactical presidential style campaign. It appears to be blown having rolled Badenoch out today, undoubtedly in an effort to prevent further haemorrhaging of voters to Reform. Rachel Sylvester’s analysis of the situation that they are now focusing solely on damage limitation, must indicate the Conservative focus group and polling feedback must be poor. This afternoon could be critical given the expected Reform announcement and YouGov MRP.
This will look good on Rishi's CV, not only did he increase taxes to eye-watering levels. Introduce a policy that will put people in prison if their home doesn't live upto climate zero standards, he also managed to destroy the Tory party. I wonder who is pulling his strings.
Who cares about Allcock, and no boll0x!!😂😂😂
Yeah why not have ID ? Everyone else ok with it
Isn't your NI number an individual id that links back just to you?
Exactly.
Libby Purves ... what a sad decline.
Great "guests", both
Can this guy pronounce his R’s
Wow. Where did you dig the old fascist bat up from?
That I. D thing sounded horrid
DOOMED.😂😂😂😂😂
It sure is beginning to look like Rishi called a summer election so he could get his kids into school in America for the next academic year 😂
Who will be left in the Tory Party the day after the election? 😂
I wouldn't be at all surprised if Rishi announces he won't stand for reelection.
They are all done for. Especially the tories.
“This culture war issue is TOTALLY not a culture war issue!”
Nice to see you invited a trans person on.
Oh wIt yeah you didn't
2 GOALS to set BRITAIN FREE : 1, vote out the Tories . 2, MAKE SURE THEY NEVER GET BACK IN
Yes low income is problem !,,
Its not important when you need Nhs a dentist and can't pay rent...ffs
How out of touch is Kemi Badenoch and her ilk. Most of us couldnt give a damn about any of this stuff. Sort out the sewage in our rivers, be honest about the impact of Brexit and start mitigating the damage it has caused. Maybe even do something to level up and then you can explain to us what most of us already have a pretty good idea of i.e what qualifies a person as either male or female
Terf
Times Radio/The Sun/Express & Mail. Where pure Fascists can spew and feel at home.
Nigel is In UK election
Rishi and his wife have made their money on the back of wars.
He is a cheat and a liar ❤
Rachel please use the words children not Kids, it is insulting and dismissive.
Times Radio - why is your sound so bad?
Lots of people care a lot about the gender war.
You never gave it a single thought, until told to do so by the swivel-eyed loon media.
THE TORY PARTY SHOULD WITHRDAW
VOTE REFORM
Yeh, vote for the same populist parasites that conned half the population to vote for brexshit.
I am concerned about this as I was horrified in the Ladies toilets in Victoria
Station, a man came walkng past
me into a ladies toilet cubicle!!! Before
I could stop him so fast he went there!
Also it is not safe/ fair in prisons/ sports.
Maybe it was a transman using the toilet of his 'biological' sex. After all if you force people to use the toilet of the sex they were born as then you will have people who look like men with beards using the ladies loo.
Why do women in Britain now have squeaky tiny voices in presenter rôles etc?🤔
Just so you don't feel bad about yours!
So as not to offend the brittle masculinity of the mean men they emulate.
They do it to trigger reactionary morons.
What a strange question. Are you a strange person?
Vote tactically. stopthetories.vote
Thank you!
