#Farage said it was "too early" to answer questions about his party's policies for next year's Senedd election.
No change then, same "no policies" just phrased differently!
Reform obfuscation? Just asking!

I’ve been saying this for ten years now but possibly not often enough: Ask Them What They Think The Words They’re Using Mean. And then ask them to name the ‘problematic’ people. We had ‘sovereignty’, ‘laws’ & ‘unelected bureaucrats’. The US now has ‘Antifa’, the ‘radical left’ & ‘insurrection’. Ask!

How to convert a £22 billion 'blackhole' in the UK economy to one that can't be measured:
Just listen to the promises made at the #Tory party conference!
#shambolic #unfunded policies? Just asking!

Too true!
But would you expect anything di8from a #Tory?
Just asking!
#Robert #Jenrick should apologise for his "disgraceful comments" bemoaning the lack of visible white faces in a part of #Birmingham, the #Mayor of the West Midlands has said.

#Badenoch is expected to say: "We are the only party with a plan to get our economy back on trust" - Sky News.
I would rather trust a plan of 'Foggy Dewhurst' from "Last of the Summer wine" (BBC series).
#Tories 'grasping at straws' is an understatement.

#Jenrick defends comment on not seeing 'another white face' in Handsworth!!
As someone who's work was based in Birmingham, it's obvious that he was wearing the customary #tory blindfold plus blinkers.
Wasn't he? Just asking!

He could’ve fought, but he faked bone spurs. So someone else had to go in his place - most likely a working class kid whose daddy couldn’t afford to bribe a doctor. Now he’s talking shit about how it should’ve been fought.

#Tory shadow chancellor:
Speaking at the #Conservative's conference in Manchester, he said the #Tories are "the only party that will stand up for fiscal responsibility". 😨 Forgotten the Tory black hole of £22 billion they left? Unfunded claptrap!

Possibly one of the most infuriating aspects of BBC conduct .

Steve Emm @steveemm.bsky.social · 6d

So "barmy" Badenoch speaks and the BBC seek out conference attendees that "just happen" to support her views, just like they did with "fruitcake" Farage.
When "sane" Starmer spoke though, they sought out only those critical of him.
Of course the BBC has no political bias though, do they?

Leaving the ECHR would allow the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, Sick Pay, Maternity Pay, Paid Holiday and working hour limits to all be abolished.

They would make hundreds of billions from this.

That is what they want.

Short memories??
Remember this #tories In 2019 :

6 years on & they still haven't a clue on how to govern! Have they (Tories that is)? Just asking!

#Badenoch's plan to deport 150,000 people a year from the UK.
Reminder:
Cost per person sent to Rwanda is estimated to be up to £139,874, excluding the £370 million in upfront fixed payments made to Rwanda, which are not recoverable!
Will the #con-servatives foot the bill, not the taxpayers of UK?

My approach will pay off eventually, says #Kemi #Badenoch
Does that mean this century or next? Just asking!

brianev @brianev.bsky.social · 6d

#Badenoch told the BBC: "Of course we will support them. But what took them so long?"
You, the #Tories, had 14 years in government and took too long to do nothing at all!
