Its great about the deserters. The Tories are going to get what they deserve --- annihilation

They will if Reform run against them and get significant votes

It's not over until the fat lady sings!

Remember the Brexit polls.

After the election, which we are all expecting will result in a Labour win, the Tory party should dissolve and then re-invent itself. If true Conservatives looked at the Reform manifesto and took on board their plans, they might stand a chance of regaining all the votes they are going to lose.
The only thing that concerns me is the hunting issue. Reform are in favour of hunting, which many of us abhor.

Tories 77 resignations, Labour 22 but no short notice shocks!
If anything says Sunak’s announcement was a shock, the high profile Tory MPs who have just resigned make it clearly so. With less than 6 weeks to go, local Tory parties have to find, interview and appoint new MPs and convince everyone they have the constituents interests at heart. Rats and sinking ships springs to mind!!!
