    I certainly do not believe all Tory MPs are bad

    From the leaked WhatsApp groups it’s fairly apparent that a lot of the backbenchers at least are absolutely sick of what’s happening. The cabinet is still mostly stacked with Boris’s hires. Either because they hung around after his firing or because they tend to favour each other when making their own hiring decisions.

    After the election I suspect that a lot of the current brass will duck out, and hopefully some of the back benches will challenge Braverman for the party leadership. There is a chance they might be able to sort themselves out but in order to do that they have to lose the next election.

      It is a highly debated topic. The consensus seems to be that having Braverman in a leadership role will be bad for the UK. You are giving her a platform without responsibility. Look at how Farage has manipulated that.

      The reckoning is that the worst of the Tory party now are making a real attempt at removing the UK from the ECHR. They want to double right down on the crazy so they can milk more cash from the country. The possibilities of this opinion being taking seriously in Tory circles along with Braverman in lead could really do damage to the people of the UK, because they will make a return to power at some point.
