This week Toby and Nick discuss the continued self-destruction of the Conservative Party, a potential looming Labour landslide, proportional representation, whether Kemi could be an effective leader of the opposition, the return of Boris, a Remainer blob coup and Jeremy Hunt’s remarkable comeback.
Will and Nick discuss the most interesting Daily Sceptic stories of the week.
Nick and Toby struggle to find any pros in the week’s episode of Pros and Cons. They discuss Graham Norton’s confused arguments, ensuing criticism and cancellation of his Twitter account, James Cordon behaving awfully to restaurant staff and the Battle of Ideas event in London.
And lastly, Nick and Toby vie for this week’s prize of peak woke (and weak poke).

Britain appears to be spiralling very quickly into oblivion, with no hope of return. I am sorry.
Hunt with biggest FU to the British ppl ever.
Everybody in Media keeps is thinking right vs left, Labour vs Conservative, North vs South, Brexit vs EU, Vax vs Anti-Vax.
This is a Bankers coup, a Technocrat has been installed as a defacto PM. Two choices it seems, Defacto coup Technocrat or General Election Comrade-Technocrat Starmer.
This is a managed collapse of the Financial system and they are not relinquishing power.

When has a chancellor EVER been considered to be a ‘de facto’ prime minister?
Where did that come from? The media?
I’m running out of Tories that I don’t hate with a passion – and with 1 or 2 exceptions where there was no serious candidate they’re all I have ever voted for.
I want Liz Truss back where she was because I don’t associate her with any of the horrors of the last couple of years (I may be wrong) I consider her to be in a hostage situation and the victim of a hostile take-over.
I have never cared for Liz Truss, nor Boris Johnson. They have always been puppets. Johnson caught Covid and had two weeks of education. Truss was supposed to come second and she’s having her on-the-job education as we speak. However, this is a coup and I think its genesis came from the BoE and the Governors handler.
You will see the same “Treasury Advisor” who handled Osbourne return back to No.11 to handle Hunt. Rupert Harrison and Blackrock fingerprints everywhere.
I’m still trying to find a Tory. I think they are all extinct.
I think the problem is that the Conservative party is dominated by people who are not actually conservative, who just use it as a vehicle to get into power. They understand enough about conservatism to make noises sufficient to fool conservatively inclined voters into voting Conservative.
So that’s why they all do PPE degrees…
PR means never having to say goodbye to the same Government ever again.
Look at Germany. Every election ends up with the same people from the same Parties albeit in different proportions. But the real danger is one minor idiot Party – like the Greens – becomes king-maker and in order for a government to be formed -snouts in trough – the little Party gets its tiny minority policies imposed on the Country.
It is PR in Germany to thank for the Green Fascism under which we now live.
As for what to do with the Conservative Party: expel all the MPs past and present and form a new Party from the rank & file members, attract more with true conservative social and economic values, and select candidates for next election from them.
The problem started with Cameron. He ditched the core vote and shifted Left believing he could attract more New Labourites to Conservatives than the core support he lost. And he did and BoJo got the rest.
The Republicans did the same thing, and that got two terms of Obama, then the desperate former core Republicans turned to Trump, followed by Establishment meltdown, and the nitwit and unfolding disaster we now see.
There are enough ‘true’ Conservatives to form a new Party and win an election and form a true Conservative Government. But they do need a leader. Who?
There’s something unnerving about Jeremy Hunt’s eyes…
Soulless like a shark?
This isn’t Boston University’s first creation of a “monster”, BU also gave us Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez!
