Danny Kruger | Tories Must Trust the People | NatCon UK

Danny Krugers' plenary address at the London National Conservatism Conference on May 15, 2023.

I realise now that I was never really a socialist, I was a national conservative and if this were the speech of our PM many young would support the vision. A quietly spoken but charismatic manifesto.

[lesliecunliffe]

An excellent speech. Without renewing our social, cultural, and religious capital things can only get much worse.

[ivanmytube]

It might take decades for the wokes to agree with you.

[kayedal-haddad]

He should stand to be the next Conservative Party leader!

[watchmakersp]

Glad Danny mentioned training up our own plumbers, technicians etc...as we do not have many technical colleges unlike Germany. Not many people mention it. We need a huge investment from Government and private partnership if possible. THe Tech colleges we do have are hard to get entry to.

[BR-oo]

All those ideas are what makes me a conservative. I pray we get back there somehow.

[GerryT.]

Tories must trust the people....that would be the people who dont trust the Tories.

[ellebarratt]

This would be a wildly impressive speech if the labour government were currently in power...

How many people can say they have 4 generations in their family of married couples…….from great grandparents to great grandchildren …….no divorce …..married for life…….safe secure family structures, generation upon generation…….I can …….and I’ll tell you why …….because I was taught inter generational values, that marriage is for Life …..when it’s tough you don’t leave …..choose your spouse wisely with these values in place…..self sacrifice…..it’s not about You ….it’s about 7 generations on from you……….a belief in God would help ………if for the simple reason of focusing on a Higher Being and Truth outside of ourselves and that nothing in this world in terms of money or status really matter …..

WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LEGAL CROOKS & ILEGAL CROOKS. MONEY

[jamesvoss]

13 years of fails conservative rule!!!

[juliamacdonald]

Danny, we will not trust Rishi Sunak. Forget it if you think the Tories can win another election with Rishi as Prime Minister. Just forget it. Neveretheless, i like your three basic truths.

[bield]

How about a Tory Party the people can trust? Just a thought (despite the very high bar it sets).

[alisonbrown]

23yrs to get an extra £4 per hr as a carer. Tories did that

[LiamBurke-jgnc]

The man who supported Boris Johnson telling us all that mothers and fathers should stay together or else society is ruined...the irony lol

[Cromwelldunbar]

Trust the People? Again? They trusted them before, won them over with an eighty seat maj..and where did it get them? Maybe it’s the People who ought to be the last trusted! They vote themselves into worse situations than before! Trust the People for the whining shower we have now complaining but with no convincing counters for the immediate future except spend spend spend either on wortheless long term projects, and encourage rather People to strike strike strike and not to work not to work or work only that time for post inflation incomes to compensate, and to bring in half the population and dependents from India!

[radwald]

What has paganism got to do with it? I am a pagan, i do not worship myself rather our noble ancestors, part of my worship is nature based and I'm probably more socially conservative than Kruger.

[alisonbrown]

A carer wages in 1999 was £6 2011 £7.15 now 2023 £10. 23 yrs to grow £4 per hr.

[kiljoy]

According to Gerrard Batten, Boris Johnson is not remotely the brave patriot you seem to think... No, quite the opposite, and I’m certainly inclined to agree with Batten.

[lesliecunliffe]

I've watched most of the speeches and alternative presentations given at this conference by Conservative members of the Government and MPs. Only Danny Kruger and Miriam Cates articulate a deeper understanding of the issues confronting our country, and the necessary steps to solve them. The other Tory MPs carried on as normal by trading in the tired cliches of an out of touch Westminster subculture.
