Directionless Tories wrong to veer right

DELUDED Kemi Badenoch's woeful Nigel Farage tribute act will crash her leadership and the ailing Conservative Party.

- 

Driving further to the right, veering into Reform lanes, is blind panic that will potentially cost the Tories even more votes rather than wooing back lost millions.

US-style paramilitary storm troopers swooping on neighbour-hoods to impose mass deportations is a poisonous threat from the Tory tiny Trump when Americans are in uproar over wrongful arrests, detentions and deportations of their fellow citizens.

More than half of Britons, 52%, and many Tory voters, 42%, think it would be “very bad” if our government was more like the one being run by Trump so she is misreading the country.

Badenoch is guilty of another mistake in banking on vowing to scrap the UK landmark Human Rights Act and joining Russia and Belarus, Europe's two dictatorships, in pulling out of a European Convention on Human Rights that was inspired by Winston Churchill.

Opposing the convention is an ideological test on the right of British politics where it is falsely painted as benefitting only migrants.
