Theresa May to tell Tories it's time for infighting to cease
This Conservative Party Conference 2017 will be memorable, (but only for a few short weeks), for being the most boring and repetitive Conservative Conference since records began.
What should be a catalogue of policy options and visions for the future, has become and promises to remain for the much heralded Theresa May keynote speech scheduled for later today (Wednesday) the last day of the conference. This conference has consisted of no more than 20% "policy" proposals and 80% unashamed attack on the Labour party generally and on Jeremy Corbyn in particular.
A procession of Ministers, Priti Patel, David Davis, David Gauke, Philip Hammond, Boris Johnson and others have wasted their own and the British public's time with speeches woefully low on their record and proposals for the future, but tediously long on how bad the Labour Party is and how they, led by Corbyn (who Johnson would like to "blast into space") will turn this country into another Venezuela or Cuba, and other preposterous remarks which impressed nobody except the inane audience which actually managed to find the comments amusing.
In order to maintain at least a semblance of balance, representatives from the Constituency Associations and other organisations were called to speak, but in keeping with the example set by the MP's continued with the theme of spending most of their allocated time in attacking Jeremy Corbyn with personal abuse and smear. No doubt today's speeches, culminating with the contribution from Theresa May, will continue this assault and will presumably be met with the obligatory standing ovation, though God only knows why.
A number of television commentators have remarked how boring this conference has been and how policy has been abandoned for attacks on Labour. This point of view has been repeated in the press and no doubt in pubs, clubs and other places around the United Kingdom where people discuss these things.
Fear of the Labour party has overwhelmed the conservatives and it is glaring obvious from the performance at their conference.
