Is this what we get when a woman is attacking another woman in parliament? Appalling, childish behaviour - whatever you think of the budget! Kemi trying too hard to sustain her position
Utterly juvenile and unparliamentary antics from Kemi Badenoch during her response to the budget.
Desperate, undignified and ineffective.

As a brown Muslim immigrant kid with a thick accent who went to a private school age 13, I can recognise Nigel types in a blink.
"Just having a laugh old boy, it's only banter, do they not have jokes in Bangladesh?"

The chalk stream amendment 38 of the Planning and Infrastructure Bill just got voted down in the HoL, and 40 ( protected species) was withdrawn.
I can’t tell you how truly devastating this is for nature in our country, on land and in our waterways
There isn’t a word to describe how disgusted I am.

PFI is where Private Investment build NHS buildings and then the NHS rents it.
The result is the NHS permanently has 'no money' because it has to pay huge rent costs and the Government goes, "Oh dear we will have to cut services."

In Nuseirat refugee camp, southern Gaza, an entire family was wiped out in a single Israeli airstrike. The Abu Shawish family mourned the loss of grandparents, parents, and children killed yesterday in a strike that flagrantly violated the ceasefire.
