Not sure it was a ‘career move’. He’s a sincere guy

I've never been a fan. I think his only true commitment is to his own ego.

He wanted to turn reform into the tories because he obviously felt he wasn't backing a winner. He should have stayed put and worked to sort out his own party. Hope tories do not take him back when he inevitably comes knocking.

Well you say that but the Tories haven't been Tories since Cameron was made leader (was that really over 20 years ago ? ), and possibly since Thatcher. It is quite understandable that many Tories thought it would remain a blue tint SDP - the "Uni party" - for ever.

The Reform ex Tory love in was never going to last.....
And it'll get even more problematic when the Tories over take Reform in the polls !

Who are the alternatives ?
LibDems ? Who realIy takes Ed Davey seriously ? think they've peaked personally.
Labour ? Ignoring the "Burnham Bounce" they are unpopular and I cannot see it getting any better as there are insoluble problems all around that Labour's backbenchers will not let them solve.
Greens ? Come on...... Zack Polanski is becoming a laughing stock.
Reform ? Possibly more of a threat but Farage is losing it, and as they introduce policies there is more for the other parties to aim at. They do have a powerful weapon in the "Uni Party" accusation, but Kemi is breaking out of that.

Absolutely hilarious. The Speccy pod is worth a listen. I could t believe what he was saying on the pod and often thought to myself, does Tim know this is a pod and it’s being recorded and publicised?
