Good analysis of the cracks and chaos in the UK’s Conservative party.
Suellaism is here to stay
The war for the future of the Conservative Party has begun
BY Tom McTague, Unherd, November 14, 023:
Story continues below advertisementRishi Sunak doesn’t know what he’s trying to sell. Suella Braverman does. Herein lies a problem for the Conservative Party.
Just over a year ago, Sunak claimed his mandate to govern came from Boris Johnson’s victory in 2019, a victory that was, he insisted, “not the sole property of any one individual” but that of the entire party. “And the heart of that mandate is our manifesto,” Sunak declared triumphantly outside No 10. “I will deliver on its promise.”
Within a year, Sunak had junked it completely: corporation tax was hiked to 25% and HS2 scrapped. Sunak then spun these moves as part of a new mission to end the “30-year political status quo” which he wasn’t a part of. Then, a month later, he sacked Suella Braverman and made David Cameron Foreign Secretary.
In terms of short-term political tactics, there is a certain logic at work. The story — for a day or two at least — is no longer about the former Home Secretary or the “hate marches” that have so divided the Conservative Party since the mass slaughter of Israelis on October 7. But what are voters supposed to make of it all? Is Sunak still out to end 30 years of political failure? Or just the past seven years of failure since Cameron was last in office?
The reshuffle reveals the terminal nature of the crisis now facing this Government. These are its dying spasms. A year ago, Sunak tried to resuscitate the Johnson coalition by appointing Braverman Home Secretary. The gambit inevitably failed. Johnson’s coalition was gone by the time Sunak took charge, killed by Partygate and Truss’s mini-budget. Sunak then tried the hopey-changey thing, but voters hated it, with polls at the weekend predicting a landslide defeat for the Tories worse than in 1997. Now Sunak seems to be trying to rebuild the Cameron coalition that was upended by Brexit. But Cameron’s coalition is also long gone.
And the war for the future of the Conservative Party has begun.

Sunak was installed by the WEF. He marches in lock-step with the Globalist/Elites.
Ms. Braverman is a National hero for the people of the UK.

Sunak a Billionaire is part of the WEF “Billionaire’s Boys Club” These boys are the Proto Nazi’s of the Fascist One World Globalist WEF. None of these billionaire snakes has any interest in the common man only their own selfish interest to be the Elite ruling the world the serfs – with AI no democracy will be permitted. This future of Feudalism returning to rule over mankind is not very popular. What will the loser leaders of the G7 and G20 going to do?
