Comment on Tories set a low bar after misspelling Britain on conference chocolate

Organisers are reportedly blaming the mistake on a “printing error” and have since removed the chocolate from the bags
Wait a minute. So the organizers dick it up and get rewarded with a bunch of chocolate? This doesn’t seem like proper incentivization.
Also, based on recent polling, isn’t Reform the largest opponent, not Labour?
She isn’t that bright, she genuinely seems to think her job is to just blame Labour for everything. Actually paying attention to the political landscape seems to be a bit outside of her wheelhouse

Based on current polling we conservatives would be lucky to get third place. Reform on track to get second or third place depending on the pole, Labour and the lib Dems are fighting for the top spot.
So if we had an election today it would probably result in a labor lib dem coalition in government and a reform opposition (albeit one was so little voting capacity that they may as well not exist) then the conservative sitting on the sidelines. In some very strange universe reform and the conservatives may actually just accept that they’re essentially the same party and former a coalition opposition, but I suspect the smugness of the few remaining conservators will prevent that on this particular plane of existence.
