If the “damage” is already done I don’t have any idea what reversing will do.

I sometimes worry I exaggerate the collective madness of our media but the people who cheered Brexit, Boris Johnson & Liz Truss's mini-budget are now applauding Kemi Badenoch's speech. 'Parallell universe' doesn't come close. I suppose her not falling over is a win of sorts for them at the moment.

Why is X thinking Kemi’s speech was amazing and saved them? And when did everyone hate Stamp duty all I remember is when people kept pausing/cutting it

And get people off benefits how??? Maybe admitting Hunt tried to do that would be a reflection but hey they don’t.

I do wonder how they got away with just chucking everything on local government. No body seemed to mention it till they started going bust and or raising council tax

I do wonder what happened in the 2022 leadership election as yes she was well know on the culture war side for her speech on BLM then somehow in that election the entire media fell in love with her. All I can remember is she made toilets single sex for a point.

Mahmood may be worse than Suella I can’t tell yet. But there is some weird irony in how much free speech defenders love banning stuff.

I’m more confused she’s still kinda posting about the same thing three days later. It just sounds like it’s never gonna end. I don’t get what crying at her achieves but I don’t get what her still talking about it achieves either. But yes no one owns social media well until Elon did lol.

Matthew Powell @thedoctor2016.bsky.social · 6d

What about post Trump lol.
And if I was rich!

Matthew Powell @thedoctor2016.bsky.social · 6d

These are sadly her worst albums. Also the fact people seemingly give her 100 cos they are scared of her

Matthew Powell @thedoctor2016.bsky.social · 6d

She did it again her new album makes me appreciate her prior one more. As the whole TTPD had more than 42 mins of songs I like

Okay I’m more on the Charli side YOU ARE A BILLIONAIRE. And saying oh look I’m better!! (Also was she actually dating Marty Healy)

Matthew Powell @thedoctor2016.bsky.social · 6d
