to pay off their student loans.

Eric Pickles has said that the party should be prepared for snap elections.
I wonder who he has been talking to.

I thought some of the areas that she identified as an issue were interesting. I am not sure they are capable of getting out of the neo-liberal economic trap for long enough to solve them however and, even if they did they would still be overwhelmed by the self inflicted problems of Brexit. May made that impossible from the beginning by thinking only the majority mattered and not, while accepting the direction of the vote, considering the other half of the country.

She only seemed better at the Tory conference, because those speakers before her were absolutely dreadful, but really she didn't say anything worthwhile.

I think, as the party falls apart, she may have to step in and sort them out.
If she's the one they're relying on, they might as well give up.
(And I think they should give up.)

Ruth Davidson can look good, shouting from the sidelines. She'd be as hopeless as any other Tory, as leader, but maybe a bit better than Boris.

30-50 thousand on Brexit march in Manchester

May still insists that her cabinet is united.

Can the Tories actually get rid of her at the conference?

And has said that she had no intention of leaving Edinburgh.
I'd guess that any 'safe' Tory constituency would jump at the chance of having her.
I think, as the party falls apart, she may have to step in and sort them out.

Ruth Davidson needs to be an MP in Westminster before she can become Tory leader.

The people's assembly were marching there today. They have a week long festival, which is probably much more exciting than the Tory Conference.

Just switching channels Catalan looks bad

She has been mentioned as a prospect

I think there must be some in that conference who wish Ruth Davidson was their leader. The contrast with May is so extreme.

No!!! Of course not. It was never shown on anything other than Parliament.

Did they show the LP conference on Sky, BBC News and BBC Parliament all at the same time?

Ruth Davis better.

ww are you watching it? I've never seen anything so dreadful, what has gone wrong?

I think the marches are anti- Brexit ---

Massive marches outside the hall

Blimey I think they are all losing the will to live, it is painful.

Does anyone know why Tory members are not given a choice to debate anything. Perhaps they have no thoughts on the subjects or couldn't care

Justine Greening shaking the money tree again, just like her illustrious leader did this morning, and just as they did at the election, there is no indication where the money is coming from.

How dare he say Labour is the nasty party.

Young Tories have been caught saying of Grenfell "gas the chavs" "shooting peasants"
There were other extremely disturbing messages, which do not bare repeating on here.

These are the potential MPs of the future.
