Tweeters had some bad news for the Tories worried about becoming seen as ‘the nasty party’
The Observer has provided us with the best ‘Alexa, show us lack of self-awareness‘ headline this year, in relation to the Tories’ predicted pledge to take the country out of the European Convention on Human Rights.
Brace yourselves.
To be clear, they’re not worried about attacking human rights – they’re worried about the possibility of reputational damage.
Twitter had some bad news for them.

We risk being seen as the ‘nasty party’ again, warn Moderate Tories
Would these 'One Nation Conservatives' be the same ones that rode the wave of populism and voted for every nasty bill and regressive law just so they could stay in power?#NastyParty https://t.co/zFKISQEGRu

British Bill of Rights,Tories say, would protect liberty, freedom from death and torture,access to courts. Yet these are rights Illegal Migration Act and Rwanda policy removes from illegal migrants. Their nastiness goes much deeper than leaving ECHR. https://t.co/wHDx3nLwRR

Oh, go on – have another one.
"We risk being seen as the ‘nasty party’ again, warn senior Conservatives"
That's like a group of people who've burnt an entire city to the ground worrying about maybe being seen as arsonists. Self-awareness not really their thing… https://t.co/zOazURN8sK
