Well he ain’t that thin, so it’s not the only thing that’s faked in that picture.

Of course they show the orange narcissist man baby fake numbers, just surprised it’s that low. His ‘approval ratings’ in his mind would embarrass Kim Jong Un.

No thanks, it’s bad enough here as it is but it would be the end of the UK if Deform get in and sell everything off to the MAGAt GOP.

If only Labour and Lib Dem’s would actually have the courage to say the same thing.

I agree, do you?

Yes I don’t know why Labour haven’t, unless Spaffer ate it all there’s no reason not to release it. (Unless Labour have some links of their own).

money laundering, wire fraud, blackmail & extortion. He conspired to launder millions of $’s of drug money using offshore bank accounts

Not learnt a single thing from their humiliating defeat in 2024, they are now on the verge of death and for now just a poor Deform cover band.

Badenoch's argument is that the Conservatives failed by not following their principles (2024), but succeed when they follow their principles.

Where does Boris Johnson's 2019 electoral success fits into this: a booster agenda of higher spending, levelling up, net zero and cakeism on most things?

They’ve learnt absolutely nothing about their historical defeat in July 2024, no apology for the state of the country they left it in. I’d be delighted if they finally died as a party.

I was listening to @mrjamesob.bsky.social until Badenoch launched into a speech praising the people who broke Britain with Brexit, austerity and privatisation. An apology for the 5 incompetent Tory PMS in 14 years? No. They were preparing for her, Kemi.
Such a spiteful, tone deaf speech.
Fxxk off.

The EU and the ROW need to actually stand up to the unhinged orange rapist, any deal he ‘signs’ he will wipe his morbidly obese arse with after he is having a meltdown about the Epstein files or ‘insurrection’ in Portland.

The electoral/political logic of these findings is that Reform, the LibDems, Labour, the Greens could all do well in the current electoral landscape from more focus on the ECHR - but that the Conservatives would be better off trying to contain and manage the salience than to increase it
