@jessalinecaine That's labour's main card

[Jess Caine @jessalinecaine]

I have decided to leave the Conservative Party.

I am not under any illusion that my membership is significant. I am a small account, and ordinarily I would find it rather self-important to announce leaving a political party

The only reason I am doing so publicly is because my decision follows what I believe is a serious problem with internal toxicity.

I would define myself as a Red Tory. I believe in family, community, national belonging, anti-woke, local institutions, social responsibility and a state that remembers its duties where it has assumed them. That political tendency has felt like a dying breed inside the Party for a long time.

My views no longer fit comfortably within a Party I have loved being a member of for many years.

I have never particularly cared whether my opinions were fashionable, popular, or warmly received by whichever faction currently thinks it owns the room. Politics would be pointless if we only said things that earned applause from our own side!!

But since 15 May, after I criticised Worcestershire Conservatives for working with the Greens, I have been subjected to a level of hostility from within Conservative circles that I can no longer ignore.

My posts have been trawled through, my views misrepresented, claims briefed against me, and in one case an individual openly admitted on multiple occasions to attempting to identify and expose personal information about me.

The same individual then spread false claims about my membership status, creating a needless cloud of suspicion around something the Party itself has already confirmed…

I have also watched very recent similar hostility directed at others, including Andrew Pierce and Katie Lam MP, for apparently failing to perform enough Tory purity on X. A party that treats difference of emphasis as betrayal is NOT a party confident in its future.

This is an ugly, paranoid and deeply unpleasant culture.

There is a disease at the root of the Conservative Party, and I increasingly believe this toxic internal policing is part of it.

That said, I do not leave the Membership with hatred. I have many good friends in the Party, and I am grateful for the kindness, support, and encouragement I have received from decent Conservatives over the years.

I am also grateful that the Conservative Party Data Team replied on 1 June to my complaint of 26 May, opening an investigation and Subject Access Request relating to the attempted dox.

However, when someone publicly and repeatedly claims to have access to personal information through Party channels, I would have expected a quicker and more decisive response.

The possibility that my personal details, such as my home address, may have been accessed or shared in this way is deeply concerning.

It has become clear to me that my views, and the kind of politics I believe in, are no longer welcome in the Party.

So I have resigned my membership this evening.

In this morning’s interview Zia Yusuf makes it quite clear the police are institutionally racist towards white people.

PRIME MINISTER?
Some people say:
he speaks more directly than traditional politicians and says what many voters are thinking.
Others believe:
his views are too controversial to unite the country.
But one thing is certain…
more and more people across Britain are talking about him.
❤️ YES
😮 NO

"It brought back memories of George Floyd."

Deputy prime minister David Lammy tells @TrevorPTweets seeing the footage of Henry Nowak was 'deeply traumatic', and the perpetrator's actions were 'sickening'.

Shadow Energy Secretary Clair Coutinho says the police are prioritising racism above protecting the public from harm.

‘Treating ethnic minorities differently is the definition of two-tier.’

🚨 BRITAIN EXPLODES: Protests Rage Over Cold-Blooded Stabbing Murder of British Teen Henry Novak Amid Migration Meltdown. 

Fury is exploding in the UK after 18-year-old Henry Novak was stabbed to death.

VP JD Vance nailed it:

“Henry Novak should still be alive today… if European elites had stood their ground against the mass invasion of migrants.”

Starmer calls it “interfering in democracy” and begs not to politicize it.

But disturbing bodycam shows the killer lying to cops, claiming victimhood, while police handcuffed bleeding Novak as he gasped “I’ve been stabbed” and “I can’t breathe.”

Open borders = dead kids. Prayers for the Novak family. Britain wake up.

Enough is enough!

[Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧 @TRobinsonNewEra]

If you think things couldn't get any worse over the horrific murder of Henry Nowak.

It's now been revealed that Hampshire police were going to release a statement warning the public not to talk about it online and paint Henry as the aggressor before Digwa's trial!
