The Conservative Party’s 2025 conference has been one embarrassment after another. Nothing they’ve done has been as embarrassing as their 14 years in government, of course, but the mistakes are more obvious now, because the media is no longer carrying water for them:

If only the hangover from 14 years of Tory austerity faded so quickly.

Vanishing support

Going off the pictures, it really does look like the Tories can’t pull a crowd anymore:

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp tells a near-empty Tory conference hall that the UK will use “the freedoms we will gain from leaving ECHR”.

Apparently the Tories can’t even convince their past leaders to attend:

They’ve gone from being a Margaret Thatcher tribute act to a Margaret Thatcher mausoleum.

Things looked a bit more full in this tiny pub room:

Half of the Conservative members think Badenoch shouldn’t lead the Tories into the next general election.

So that’s 6 people that support her. https://t.co/gsoob6yC5w

Kemi Badenoch has denied they’re suffering ‘low turnout’:

We’re not sure why we’re listening to Badenoch, however, as it came out she’s actually seeking to lead some country called ‘Britian’:

The Tories are giving out bars of chocolate at their conference with ‘Britain’ spelled incorrectly

We’re not sure where this “Britian” is, but maybe the Conservatives should be having their party conference there?

James Cleverly laughed off the ‘typo’ in what looked like another empty hall:

A big theme of the conference has been the desperate one-upmanship of the flag shaggers:

And finally, as highlighted here, the Tories are now so irrelevant that people don’t even care to protest them:

The fact Steve Bray hasn’t bothered is possibly the most damning indictment of the current Tory Party so far https://t.co/RFYPATQ7mR

The death of the Conservative Party at its conference

I was a service worker in Manchester between 2008 and and 2012, and in that time I worked the Conservative Party conferences as a barman and waiter. Serving those events, I learned two things:

William Hague looks considerably more oily in person than on TV.Tories are the absolute worst tippers.

When I say ‘worst’, what I mean is I went the entire night without a single tip. This was completely unheard of at any other event.

Say what you will about the horrendous hog-fests I worked, but they were at least well attended. Hopefully this time next year, we won’t even realise the conference is happening.
