My message to the millions of One Nation conservatives who reject the divisive politics of Badenoch and Farage is this:

Come and join us. Help us save our country. Come and win with us.

Good morning Conservative conference... Can't stand to be a Kemi Conservative any more?

Join us.

A digital billboard mounted on a truck parked on a city street displays a political advertisement from the Liberal Democrats. The sign reads: “CAN’T STAND TO BE A KEMI CONSERVATIVE?” and includes excerpts from The Telegraph and The Guardian about Tory policies and internal disputes. The message at the bottom says, “Join us: LibDems.org.uk/join.”

Did you think No Deal Brexit was gone for good?

I have bad news.

For months, Badenoch has said that she wouldn't jump the gun on leaving the ECHR, because she wanted to fully assess the implications, and within 24 hours of announcing the policy, completely on the hoof, she has also committed her party to a no-deal Brexit by default. 😂 🤡 😂 ~AA

Anna asks Badenoch: “How will you deal with the potential failure of the UK-EU TCA?”… should the UK leave the ECHR

“The Trade and Cooperation Agreement is one that can be terminated at any time with a 12 month notice period… it could happen irrespective of leaving the ECHR, we do not need to be in the ECHR for that agreement to continue” #r4today

There was certainly something recently which monopolised all public debate and paralysed all policy initiative in the UK for the better part of a decade, and I dont think it was trans rights.

"While Britain was redefining what a woman is, China was building five nuclear reactors," says Kemi Badenoch.

I cannot be the only person curious about how these two things are related

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.
