Always surprised by her regular outburts. She was supposed to be a good friend of Cameron - that may be the reason.

As she has already discussed in interviews (although not gone into any detail) she had one hell of fall out with Michelle Mone.

It's interesting because I recall her some years ago heading up some Conservative group investigating the teaching of maths. I think she is simply a 'traditional conservative' who isn't afraid to call out what this current cabal have done to the party in recent years. Similar to Rory Stewart, Ken Clarke, Ian Hislop and quite a few others.
Or as they are now known, liberal, vegan, wokeist, guardian reading lefties

Not one of her "special friends" I hope?

Retrospectively her notorious appearance on Question Time needs to be seen in new light
It was after that appearance she was defined as a raving Tory.
She clearly has a beef above the use of public money and "sleaze".

Woking council has declared it is effectively bankrupt after admitting a risky investment spree involving hotels and skyscrapers overseen by its former Conservative administration had left it facing a deficit of £1.2bn.
The Surrey council, the most heavily indebted local authority in England, said it had issued a section 114 notice on Wednesday in response to “unprecedented financial challenges” facing the town.

It does. Sunak was recorded saying the levelling funding was going to the deprived town of Tunbridge Wells.Stinks

Ugh. I'm in Uckfield. Now I need to do my research on how to place my tactical vote at the next GE. Assuming it'll be of any value at all, of course...

Yeah, but that particular tactical voting site is still using the old boundaries and when I put my postcode in gives me a "not sure" result for Wealden (which makes sense, given Wealden's history of being strong Tory with flip-flopping results for Lab / Lib Dem).
This is the problem with the Tories, eventually they run out of other people's money to waste.

I had a quick look at their FAQs, and the new constituency doesn't seem to feature, which to me sounds odd. Might be worth contacting them on this:

Corrupt and spineless. Of course he was going to approve it. The watery little digit does what he’s told.

I wonder why they would do that ? From the article you quoted
Speaking to Radio 4's Today programme, Ms Reeves said the Tories had "crashed the economy", adding that after prices and interest rates increased "financial stability has to come first". Former PM Liz Truss's mini-budget last year, which included billions of pounds of unfunded tax cuts, also prompted turmoil in the financial markets and led to interest rates rising further.
Since then the economic picture has changed considerably, with interest rates and borrowing costs soaring.
Apparently because even His Majesty's Opposition underestimated just how corrupt, inept and incompetent this Cabal that you voted for, and support at every opportunity, would be. Seems sensible
