They don't care. Almost their entire online version this morning is dedicated to last night's met gala. Indeed their lead story is the size of Kim Kardashian's waist. In the midst on the continuing shit show that is Netanyahu's basically genocidal war, they would have you believe that come the next election, the Tories will win, folk are interested in the size if some reality telly star, and that no one voted for Labour last Thursday.
Its the Tory way at the moment unfortunately. We used to have quarterly local party meetings, where any items of policy could be discussed and debated. After last years abysmal local election performance, we provided a detailed list of problems / mistakes that needed to be addressed (along with a commitment to volunteer to assist in their resolution). It was critical of the party leadership and processes but it was constructive. The answer from the area leadership was we haven't had a meeting since.
I think Sunak and his ilk think sticking their head in the sand will make the problem go away, but they don't notice to do it they have to bend over, so they won't see the kick up the a@se coming until it is too late.[/quote]
Kind of resonates with what happened when I was active in The Labour Party. People were so comfortable under Blair that they were unable to countenance a resurgent Tory party under a young and dynamic leader. Just imagined that folk would always associate them with the utter shit show that came before.
