Kemi bad-enoch named Terry Pratchett as her favourite author but the philosophy in his stories are the exact opposite of what she espouses. How can she have this cognitive dissonance #kemibadenoch #wtf

Labour and others could do more to highlight this clear shitshow. On the other hand, if Reform took the majority of wales in may, it would shine a bigger spotlight on their incompetence and possibly backfire for them BIGLY

Kemis speech didnt shift any dials

loved the book section at the end. Im glad it was suggested in the recent backers meeting. Im wondering how Coopers biggest fan, Sunak took the news of her passing. And speaking of tory leaders, i was wondering what you guys thought of kemi's revelation that Terry Pratchett was her favourite Author?

Patel and Bondi just ooze corruption out of their pores. They're clearly out of their depths and are only there to do trumps/millers bidding. If there is any justice in this world, the full administration should be behind bars when this chaos is over

Absolutely superb effort by all those who voted for this, many of whom are now dead.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

"Almost an insurrection". Its getting closer

Im willing to bet that if trump is desperate he will use his own goons to kickstart an insurrection. All those jan 6th insurrectionists he freed will be put to use

This hasnt been getting the coverage it deserves. The midterms may end up upsetting a lot of Americans

marty1981.bsky.social @marty1981.bsky.social · 1d

This will probably be the nail in the coffin for trade deals with china and the US. The level of dishonor is too much for the chinese to let it slide. seismic shifts are coming

Is this purity test going to be asked of all old politicians or just labours ex ministers

marty1981.bsky.social @marty1981.bsky.social · 1d

And what about the moves that labour have already done to move back into europe? And theyre continuing to go further with the deals and trade agreements. Kemi and farage have said that they would undo everything labour done so far

marty1981.bsky.social @marty1981.bsky.social · 1d

They wouldnt have liked kemi saying it was courageous for leaving the eu during her cack speech
