Bit of an understatement to worry about being the “nasty” party when you’re actively murdering people in their own homes by choking benefits and allowing companies to price gouge us, as well as selling the country off to the highest bidder you doddering old cunts.
We risk being seen as the ‘nasty party’ again, warn senior Conservatives

While also demonising immigrants and deporting them to some African country.

Well there’s no danger of that. They can’t even get them into a boat in our own country.
And the plan is Ascension Island now apparently, although it might as well be the fucking moon for how feasible it is.
All to avoid doing paperwork and actually processing them like everyone else seems able to.

Risk?
Again?
I see everything's been covered already. Good job everyone, see you next week.

"“The risk of us being tarnished then as the nasty party again, I think, becomes very real.”
I understand that this is more aimed at moderate conservatives but still… Isn’t it just a wee bit late to be realising this?

Ah shit, too late? But only by a few minutes, right?

“If we’re quick with a response, maybe no-one will have noticed - right chums?”

No shit... 13 years of the country run to absolute exhaustion and you're still not sure how to read the room boys and girls?

The disguise never fooled us all. Some of us could always see them as what they are…
Mane25@feddit.uk 10 months ago
They are slow aren’t they?
Diplomjodler@feddit.de 10 months ago
I can assure you that I’ve been seeing them as the nasty party uninterruptedly for the last forty years.

I think that boat has sailed.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Cabinet ministers are now said to be among those expecting the party to back quitting the European convention on human rights (ECHR) as part of its next election manifesto, should their plan to deport migrants to Rwanda be blocked in court.
Tory supporters of staying inside the ECHR are taking comfort from the fact that just three months ago, Sunak endorsed the convention at a meeting of European leaders.
While No 10 sources said they believed their migration plans could be achieved inside the ECHR, the prime minister is expected to come under renewed pressure to back leaving the European court of human rights when MPs return to the Commons next month.
The news comes with other senior moderate Tories signalling they will battle to stop the party veering further to the right on culture war issues, or using green policies as a dividing line with Labour.
In an interview with theObserver, Andy Street, the West Midlands mayor and the most senior Tory outside London, said he and others needed to show their brand of Conservatism would be electorally successful.
Our new stop the boats bill will play an important part in our effort to break the cycle, end exploitation by gangs and prevent further loss of life.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!

They already are. I don't really think they ever lost that reputation, except maybe briefly under Cameron.

Mrkawfee@feddit.uk 10 months ago
They never stopped being the nasty party.
WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 10 months ago
The statement implies they apparently experienced a fleeting realisation that they were the nasty party… When that moment was is anyone’s guess, as they have never acted based on that information.
