I don't think the candidates care about anything other than power and money, the politics requires there to be an 'other' group to stir up hate against, and racism and homophobia don't sell quite as well as they used to.
i'm not well up enough in things military, but i think at one time it was a criminal offence. not sure if it still is.
i think there are circumstances where it's considered acceptable for a widow to wear her late husband's medals, not sure about wearing a late parent / grandparent's medals.
if she is committing a faux pas (whether it's an offence or not) then i'm surprised that the older tories haven't made a fuss about it yet.

You can wear the medals of dead close relatives, but you are supposed to wear them on the other (i.e right) breast.

Indeed.
Although I can imagine sane people doing it if they are attending a veterans parade. Think the Burma Star stopped doing parades about 20 years ago, though.

To potentially lose an 80 seat majority?
The only one currently polling better than Starmer is Sunak, and that's before a four week space where the two candidates slug each other.
OK sometimes a new PM can get a slight honeymoon boost, but I really cannot see any of these candidates risking an early election when there is so much of a hangover from Johnson and pretty bloody internal fight as the background.

Indeed. Imagine seeing all that poverty and lost human talent in Leeds and, having resolved to never let it happen again, drawing the conclusion that the solution was to join the Party responsible for it and become a really shit tribute act to the women who destroyed those lives.
Truss is absolutely barking mad, although I did like her dig at posh boy Sunak at the end of her rambling stupidity

One thing that struck me is Truss saying she would get rid of "Stalinist" housing targets (not in the ITV debate, but previously). Isn't that sort of ruling herself out of being in another government? Realistically, there are surely going to continue to be housing targets, and it's difficult to see how you can defend them having previously said they were Stalinist.

She must still be smarting about that zero homes built but 200,000 promised. Maybe she wants to knock down affordable housing and build luxury flats for oversees investors to launder their cash through

She is so crap she might try to wriggle around this in future by saying that those targets have gone from Stalin to Mr Bean, which will give Sunak another chance to call her a liberal democrat. Building on this rhetorical trajectory she can go on to claim that Beanist policies will enable her to become the enchanted goose who can compensate for our ruined balance of trade by laying some sort of eggs on a regular basis.
Alternatively she will simply rebrand targets as something else, or implement such horrific policies that the population falls dramatically, removing the need for a big expansion of housing stock. Or, taking conservative values to their extreme, the new targets will be for huts and mansions.

Tried it in my profile , not quite worked but got "cunts" in

They're all just winging it, aren't they?
Not at all. They each have a team of advisers working in real-time to feed them the “right answer for me, right now”.
Don’t take their apparent randomness as cluelessness.
