"Kemi Badenoch backs President Donald Trump"
Remember this when she is trying to frantically back pedal when the Trump regime damages the country that she apparently wants to serve as Prime Minister.
On reflection she is as likely to double down it will be our fault.

Let me be precise. This is Bollocks. Not only did Lam write it down (one assumes it was subject to at least cursory review) but she took to the media to defend it including the infamous coloured beads video.
There were plenty of opportunity to revise, clarify and amend to something else.

If you vote for Reform or the Tories following their attack on those people with ILR. You are not necessarily a racist.
However, I am almost certain you have the intellectual capacity of a beetroot.
To vote for these measures, you have to believe in a make-believe UK that has never existed.

At what point in slide toward fascism does one get the hell out of here?
What is the litmus test? Is membership of the ECHR the line that can not be crossed.
I'm seriously thinking about what the future holds. Do you wait for something mad, bad, and dangerous turn up before bailing?

Trump has stepped back from doing something batshit crazy on tariffs.
It is tempting to assume that we have returned to normalcy.
We have not. The 25% on all autos is still in force a general 10% is still being levied.
There is still a trade war ongoing between USA and China.
