Kemi Badenoch refusing to acknowledge that Tommy Robinson is "far-right", now on LBC, and refusing to condemn Elon Musk's words. In fact she says what Musk said *isn't* incitement.

I see that my core voter base is now comprised of roundabout painters and people who shout at hotels.

I wonder if these patriotic heroes would like to join me in a traditional English Take Care Of The Homeless march around Marlborough. We will piss on their sleeping bags then set the dogs on them.

A sad day for a number of reasons. But honestly, there are only 20something cabinet posts. How difficult is it to background check these people prior to announcing posts. An absolute own goal by Labour. When will these people learn? 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄
