Comment on Former British colonies owe ‘debt of gratitude’, says Robert Jenrick
mannycalavera@feddit.uk 5 hours agoMaybe within the Tory party, for sure. I can believe that. But does he not want the Conservatives to be electable in a general election scenario.
I’m not trying to be funny, but isn’t this exactly what Labour did with the Corbyn years? Appealed to what looked like a large majority of their membership that turned out to be spectacularly unpopular at a general election level.
I cannot believe the Tories want to repeat this lesson. I mean, if they want to be out of office for a decade then that’s cool with me.

Maybe Jenrick could do what Starmer did - make some radical statements to win over the party and become leader, then soften your stance to become more electable to the general public later on.

I’d hope he sends the Tories further down in parliament such that the strong opposition is the Lib Dems. The Tories can language in Green or SNP territory.
