Vote Tory, get Reform. Vote Reform, get the Tories.

That's what's on the table according to the Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick.

Kemi Badenoch needs to come clean to the public on whether the Tories will be doing a grubby, backroom deal with Reform.

Seems @kayburley.bsky.social and @samcoatessky.bsky.social think it’s funny to call the Chancellor ‘Rachel from accounts’.
Don’t remember them saying ‘Jeremy from accounts’, or the same about any other male predecessor, do you?

Almost impossible to imagine a similar article being written about a male (read: any other in history) Chancellor.

One argument in this article includes a man saying her master’s course wasn’t very hard. And that because she ‘only’ got a 2.1 at Oxford, she shouldn’t have got in.

Reform MP James McMurdock was jailed for repeatedly kicking his girlfriend.

He had told the media he was jailed for "pushing" his former partner in 2006.

Court records obtained by The Times say the sentence was given because of "the serious nature of the offence”.

The misogynistic attacks on Rachel Reeves by those who resent successful women reminds me a lot of the attacks on Angela Rayner.
It will have the same outcome as that media frenzy had. The right-wing Neanderthals really do need to learn that society has moved on.

Clear evidence the hard-right are using farmers' protests to push their own agenda.

Lee Anderson finishes his PMQ with a bizarre nod to the Rachel Reeves CV 'truther' nonsense.

And deeply misogynistic to call the Chancellor 'Rachel from Accounts' - especially on Equal Pay Day.
