On today's #BBCLauraK, Alex Burghart, the Shadow Duchy of Lancaster, talked about how #Badenoch had changed the #Conservative Party after saying the country needed a '#Rwanda' policy to stop immigration

Ahem

Karla Denyer makes a good point on tonight's #Peston

"Why, if a recent poll shows 75% of #Conservative voters want to see #Green policies, is #Badenoch rowing back on Theresa May's 2050 #NetZero committments?"

Morten Morland on ‘welfare reform’

I bet the #Tories and especially Kemi #Badenoch are privately seething they can't go around promoting #Trump on his Ukraine 'plan' and ditching of them in favour of Putin, when they also have to be against Nigel #Farage as he's taken parts of their base, despite their slide into the same political rhetoric anyway.

"Kemi #Badenoch: 'Die westliche Zivilisation wird verloren sein', wenn die Tories scheitern."

Badenoch verhält sich zum Rassismus der Tories so, wie #Weidel zum Queerhass der Afd: als woman of colour legitimiert sie den Rassismus ihrer Kolleg*innen, wie Weidel den Queerhass der ihren legimiert.

‘We can’t change our leader again’: #Tories despair at #Badenoch’s poor PMQs performances - https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/feb/15/we-cant-change-our-leader-again-tories-despair-at-badenochs-poor-pmqs-performances the return of #Boris draws nearer by the day...

You know things are gong badly when even The Times' political sketch writer can't help penning this

#Badenoch steps into the ring and punches herself in the face

The #Tory leader demands answers on two scandals only for Keir #Starmer to point out that both had occurred under the previous government

And there was worse

I despair.

We granted asylum to 6 people from Gaza, and our political rulers are now arguing among themselves over who is to *blame* for this.

From Gaza. From fucking Gaza. Have #Starmer and #Badenoch not been watching the news lately?

In which possible reality might people from Gaza not have an absolutely watertight claim to asylum?

New method of pegging MPs left/right:

‘It is striking that all the party leaders are to the right of their MPs. At a score of 47, Keir #Starmer is not only to the right of his MPs (40), but even slightly to the right of the Commons as a whole (42). On 75, Kemi #Badenoch is also firmly to the right of her party (67). On 46, Ed Davey is to the right of his MPs (42). On 77, Nigel Farage is to the right of his group (74).’

#Badenoch is on #TrevorPhillips blaiming the 'rape gangs' on #immigration.

"These numbers mean that people are living in separate and insular communities. The most extreme example is what we saw with the rape gangs. They come from within sub communities in Pakistan. . . We have to make sure we have a dominant culture within our country"

This is bad, very bad

#Badenoch's ill thought out comments re means testing #pensions will send a shiver of apprehensive down the backs of millions of pensioners. Tory leader must learn that off the cuff comments aimed at less well off people will be punished at the ballot box. https://shorturl.at/K6bAb #Torycruelty #RejoinEU #ToryLiars

Only eight years on from kneecapping the economy and crowing “you lost, get over it” at anyone impertinent enough to notice, a #Conservative party leader has tacitly admitted the painfully obvious: #Brexit was an act of wilful negligence that dragged Britain out of its most important trading relationship.

Starmer must sigh with relief every time that Bad Enoch gets up and opens her mouth. A strategy for successful government it is not!

And of course Brexit and the Tory party had little to do with this you MUPPET?

I will acknowledge the Conservative Party made mistakes …

We announced that we would leave the European Union before we had a plan for growth outside the EU.

Colour me surprised! They have never planned for anything other than self enrichment, but they do peddle a fine line in blaming their predecessors.

Starmer points out at today's #pmqs that #Badenoch never once mentioned child grooming gangs all the time she was the children's minister

A flat rate #tax? #Badenoch should ask the ghost of #Thatcher if that's a good idea
