I will continue to oppose the neo Nazis, the racists and the far right bigots who attack our democracy.
Will you join me, my band of brothers and sisters?

She has done a car crash interview today with every news channel. She clearly hates doing them and is weirdly arrogant and incompetent at the same time. I think her Sky one with Beth Rigby is her best today but not in a good way

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch is defending her shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick after his comments that a community in Birmingham was not 'properly integrated'.
She’s all over the place, absolute shower.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are.”

It’s shocking but not surprised. The decent Tories were brutally filtered out by Boris over Brexit. They were pretty much left with the fruitcakes. Now the fruitcakes are jumping ship to Reform Ltd.

They were in power 14 years and their actions led to the way the UK is now.

Apart from the fact that Badenoch wouldn't pass the required Immigration English Language test, there's also the fact that the Conservatives negotiated for Britain between 2016 and 2020.

And look at what we got.
