Yeah, it's not that a load of tory voters voted reform... tory voters just didn't turn out and then a load of other people that wouldn't have voted at ALL, voted Reform. So they lost some voters who went to reform but, as you say, it's less than half.
That wasn't what he was saying. He was saying that people being ill and not able to receive treatment harms growth... and he's right.

She'll outlast Truss because she won't have to do anything. Truss had to govern. Never forget, the right want power. They want control. They don't want to keep the water clean or sort the bins.
I see Badenoch isn't pulling her punches on Braverman.. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/en...-civil-war-erupts_uk_668eaa71e4b0c3813d4de385 ...

She also said that Braverman appeared to be having a “very public” breakdown.

The Loon speaks, deranged madness. If she is the next Tory leader they are finished.

No chance she gets it after her rants of the last couple of days. She'll be in Reform by the end of the year.

I can start tomorrow if that's OK... but the team will have to come to my house so I can see them train in my garden.
