Tory Death Spiral

He'll still stand under the Conservative ticket and be swiftly readmitted to the party if he gets elected.

Second maybe, first not so sure about, he's already listed as an independent on Wikipedia

Imo this factcheck thing was a big mistake. Confirmation of their untrustworthiness.

Isn't that going mean that there will not be a Conservative candidate standing in that seat? IIRC the deadline for nominations has passed?

there will not be a conservative candidate for the seat. It's safe Labour anyway so I don't think it makes much difference.

Heh, what idiot thought letting her near a marginal seat in the NW was a good idea? If they have to let her do interviews the sensible approach would be to send her to the safest Labour seat in the country where she can't do too much damage.

Like Raab etc...the more that these malevolent narcissistic sociopaths are exposed to public view, the better

If only their voters did not agree with them 100%

I could think of 5 replies that are a fair bit shorter...

That's why I quite liked "vacant". Because, regardless of her gender, this individual is someone for whom deep thought or consideration would be a novelty..

By God she has enough of them to go round

What sort of awful thing happens to people which makes them think becoming a tory mp is a good thing for them to do?

 

[SpineyNorman]

She's not just nasty, Patel has to be the thickest cabinet minister in history, I certainly can't think of anyone stupider and it's a very strong field.

I think it has to be something worse than that

Colour me the grumpy old git, but I'm not hugely comfortable with the idea of using personality disorder/mental health diagnoses as a way of flinging shit at - albeit deserving - targets. It doesn't reflect so well on those who are genuinely narcissistic, oppositional, etc., and who may not have any choice in it.

Priti Patel's nastiness is a matter of political ideology (OK, and a monumental lack of self-awareness ), and, ultimately (we presume) a choice. The symptoms of people with mental health problems aren't.
