Sir Charles Walker, Vice-Chairman of the 1922 Committee, resigns from the Party Board, amid rising tensions over centralised candidate selection
Anyone who remembers the post mortem on how much centralised candidates pissed off the local associations at the 2017 election will probably agree that this is very good news.

Jeremy Corbyn wants to be Prime Minister. A few days ago the world learned of the death of Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS, a ruthless terrorist organisation responsible for the deaths of thousands of people, including many UK citizens, why has he said nothing?— James Sorene (@Jsorene) October 29, 2019

that Grenfell whitewash is sounding par for the course. Lest we forget the current PM said H+S is making the country a safer place for idiots and all the talk of deregulation and getting pesky red tape out of the way of progress by the tories in the ConDem years and austerity surely couldn't be any way connected to the penny pinching and lack of attention to building regs that caused this needless tragedy. but obv it is all the fault of the fire service .. you couldn't make it up etc...

Thee actual fuck.. You're a tory who according to other tories isn't a good tory, so you get un-toried, but the other tories suddenly need you again (a very tory thing to happen) and you, a tory that got whooped from the whip, accept to be a tory amongst the other tories again?

The home of conservatism isn’t happy
Mine is one of the 10 rebels readmitted so that has cost the Tories my vote. It’s the old boys network at work. A party that behaves like that isn’t worth supporting. I rejoined the party when Boris became leader but I won’t be renewing my membership.
Dear God why? Now more than ever the Conservatives need the courage of their convictions. Brexit is not over, a bodged negotiation of the FTA will still queer the entire pitch. No Deal must still be an option up to end of 2020, or we will get shafted in the next stage of negotiations. These ten are proven to be untrustworthy, who will defy a three line whip to help the EU cause. Stupid, stupid stupid.
