Having seen butch Cassidy and the sundance kid recently I imaging Badenoch awaiting to going on stage saying ‘for a moment there I thought we were in trouble’

If she lacked capacity someone could have intervened but according to the radio programme it seems she didn’t. If you are deemed to have capacity you have the right to make ‘bad’ choices. Which she did.
Very sad.

Tories keep saying we’ve made mistakes in the past’ but nobody follows it up with ‘what were those mistakes’.
It would be interesting to know what they consider were their mistakes. Brexit? Rwanda?

It’s seems to rattle him when asked probing questions and he then doubles down becoming more and more ridiculous.

Shouting shite from the sidelines is easy, Delivering the goods when elected is altogether different.

Badenock said on Today ‘the hall was full when I spoke’. Well it would be as nobody likes to miss the comedy act.

Mel Stride says you’ll get better at leading.
No I said that.

Jenrick won’t be going to your granddaughter’s village and saying ‘it’s time these people integrated- white faces everywhere.’

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Kemi Badenoch claiming Terry Pratchett as her favourite author is wild

It’s a bizarre situation. Sad and a needless death but bizarre. Heard episodes six on the world service earlier this morning- much earlier.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.
