They still don’t realise they were punished because of their arrogance., lies,deceit, self entitlement, greed and dishonesty!!!

Stop trying to humanise the Tory party

Former Tory MPs How beautiful thst sounds

For Gods sake, there is a new Labour government yet you are still reporting on the defunct Conservative Party as if they are still relevant🤦 Report on a competent government repairing the damage that these useless no marks have caused.

'Its not our fault we're incompetent, It's the public knowing what we're doing that makes us look incompetent'

I live in Miriam's constituency and nobody saw her campaigning at all. We got to speak to the winning Labour candidate on our doorstep. Miriam was a terrible MP, I'm glad she's gone.

Miriam Cates is part of the problem. The electorate does not map the political landscape as left or right - but wrong and right. It understands first past the post and so the wipe out was intended, the flirtation with minor parties is intended. Voting is situational who is to say that with PR we wouldn’t get the same result? Reform’s 4m votes were piled up in a small number of constituencies when the savvy Labour and LibDems focussed their efforts on winning individual races. I am in Liz Truss’ old seat we openly spoke to other voters agreeing to vote for anyone but Truss and we wiped out a 24,000 majority. We are not political analysts but we understand how our politics works.

I don't think it was Rwanda. It was that every tory pm after Cameron governed by soundbites without delivery. Tories appeared to only be there to spend our public money on enriching them and their donors. And they tried to divert attention by things like Rwanda, the lunatic conscription thing, and performative transphobia.

They seem to forget they work for us, not themselves.

There's still a Conservative party? Missed opportunity there...

Didn't we rather clearly indicate that we don't care what these idiots think?

No, it was having a 80 seat majority and peeing it up the wall through internal scheming and squabbling.

It's all me me me. And "how can we get back in power?"

The Rwanda policy was immoral, illogical and impractical and was ideologically motivated rather than a practical policy to fix the base problem.

When one party tries to be the Government and the opposition in one, it doesn’t really work.

Cates is a perfect example of what is wrong iwth conservatives.. I’m 10 mimutes into this self-pitying word salad that has no intention of discussing NHS, water, trains, doctors, and corruption. But let’s highlight Rwanda. Well, dearie, we’re done here because following the law seemed to not be something you valued. BTW, Sir Keir ended Rwanda after 6 pm on his first Friday, then worked tirelessly through the weekend on renewable energy, housing, the four nations, and UK security within NATO. That’s a positive difference in approach right there.: hard work on things that matter.

so let me get this straight: you had an 80-seat majority and couldn’t govern; what reforms did you want to remove?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAHAHAHAH (gasps for breath) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (choke). HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!!

Cates remains completely bonkers. 😂😂

Amongst all the big names I had missed that Cates had lost her seat. What fantastic news. Cates is exactly the sort of fundamentalist extremist maniac that we dont need in our politics. If we never hear from her in public again it will be a good thing.

Add Miriam Caites to the ‘tone deaf Tories’ pile 😂😂

Johnson destroys everything he touches.

You haven’t been punished enough far from it .

Of course the Tory party was divided between two poles; the tax and spend on friends and family, nepocleptocrats; and the tea party libertarians. Thank god both are gone.

Instead of opposing the labour government why not try working with it to improve peoples lives?

The title of this video is an oxymoron! The idea that the UK could transfer failed asylum seekers to Rwanda only originated in the last few years so it cannot be "to blame for ten years of deep divisions in Conservative Party."

They STILL don't get it!

We know all about tory weakness. No need to explain that after the last decade. 😂

You only have to listen to their toff accents Oaf Wheely eeeee

Nice to see Miriam and Rachael in their last media appearances before they drift off into the obscurity they deserve.

What about all my tax money he wasted will we get it back don’t think so 😢a lot of there government officials are now driving around in bentleys and living 10 bedroom houses 😡

If Rachel from the Ditch feels bruised then she should stop punching herself. Stop talking to the losers.

"Half of our party wanted to abide by international law" - telling.

I thought we had got rid of this lot….why is this channel still obsessed with them? WE DONT CARE!!

They did change things. They did. And everything got worse and worse and worse.

Why isn't she at the Job centre, prooving she has been actively seeking employment? How many interviews in the last four days? No... not this one. Lol. 🎉

80% of the country are fed up of them and are happy to see the back of them so Wish they would stop talking for at least a week or two go away find some humility and some new ideas but no they can’t.

14yrs of Tories in charge and yet GDP per capita is pretty much the same as 2010. A damming indictment of how Tories cared about nothing but their own careers and serving their donors with dodgy contracts. Always telling workers they should be grateful to have a job rather than fighting for better pay and conditions.

Every movie comes to an end but conservative party is just the beginning

My heart bleeds.....

They've been a divided party since the 1990s. When they got back in on the back of wide public dissatisfaction after the Global Financial Crisis they weren't a party who was actually ready to govern again, and all those old divisions over Europe resurfaced and we got dragged into it as a country. It was also unfortunate at the same time that Labour decided to have a nervous breakdown and provided ineffective opposition for the best part of a decade. I think and hope that the Tories will now go into a bitter battle with themselves for a decade, whilst a reinvigorated Labour Party is given enough time in power to clean up the mess and sets the country on a better and more equitable course.

This woman lives in the universe in her head.

Cates sounds bonkers.

Poor Miriam. Somebody should have told her that it's better to keep quiet and have people assume you might be thick than open your mouth and confirm the fact. 😂

Proud of her record, what record apart from destruction and incompetence

Delusional

Oh wo is me, we don't deserve any of this

How many deputy chair's have there been?!?

I do not know if you can say that populism is a variant of conservatism. But it seems like the party has reached a crossroads. Go for traditional Toryism or go for populism. if the latter Reform will probably come and join you and there will be one main right wing party at the next general election. Or stick to traditional Toryism with more sensible policies but with 2 right wing parties at the next general election. As someone who never votes Tory I am glad this is not my problem.

We still have a huge section of society we have to represent "...oh the sense of entitlement

What did tories deliver?

Bye bye Tory 😂😂😂 waste of money

She is clueless...

Just hilarious.

160 plus seats majority is a "Tiny Mandate" haha, whatever you say dear!

Grief is not a weakness.

I'm sorry I have zero sympathy for anyone. If you are knocking on doors defending lies then u are part of the problem. This Tory party have always been the same and last Friday was one of the greatest days in the history of this country.

Poisonous

Come on @TimesRadio, that's a terrible headline! "Epitomised" and "To Blame" are NOT the same thing. There is no way the Rwanda Bill is responsible for 10 years of Conservative infighting. (For a start, it hasn't been around for 10 years.). It, along with many other policy issues, may have exposed the divisions, but it didn't cause them. This is either incompetent writing or click-bait. Either way, it is beneath a publication of this standing.

Human? Hahahaha the worst humans yeah

“Given so much to serve our party” … here is an idea .. next time (and we really hope there is never a next time) try “give so much to serve the COUNTRY”

I think she's brilliant Kemi B., then again I would voting for anything but the Conservatives at the moment. Go girls (Semi and Suella). !

Their back of an envelope leadership election system seems almost designed to promote division. They need the help of a genuinely independent expert how to replace it. (Labour do too)

If you have to work out what went wrong, then you where in the wrong job in the first place, even more in this case....give you a big clue how to work 7out what went wrong have a look at the negative comments on youtube trust me it's not rocket scienceor ask a 10 year old ..

Remember when we begged people from the West Indies to come over and join our work force in the 1950s and 1960s? We now have a bunch of vacancies in our most important institutions (the NHS, education, social work) and we have the most NIMBY attitude when it comes to overseas support.

Vile lot

The only way that would have worked, would be to disallow 4.2 million unidentified Muslims from coming here in the first place, labour wanted this, and fact 49 Muslim country/s in the world Rwanda is not one of them, the Tory was never serious about deportation

I can understand why the Tory Party want to subsume Reform though. Miriam's result was only just over Reforms vote. Oh dear. When you court Fascists I suppose. ....

Sooner or later Labour ( and the rest of the EU) WILL have to adapt the Rwandan policy ( Sunak is 100% right) it's the ONLY solution

Why are we still been bombarded with tories failure,their humiliating defeat is the best thing that's happened in this country why not forget the ars*holes and concentrate on the millions of families left struggling concentrate on NHS and dentistry
