There's a growing sense of pathos around Kemi Badenoch. She's clearly constructed a self-image of toughness & ruthlessness - you can imagine her shouting at her own reflection about how hard she is - to protect herself from perfectly normal feelings of vulnerability & fear. It's unlikely to end well

Every word of this is a damn lie.

PM's spokesman weighs in on the big political story of the day - Kemi Badenoch's views on sandwiches.

“I think he was surprised to hear the leader of the opposition has a steak brought in for lunch. The PM is quite happy with a sandwich lunch. It’s a great British institution."

Intros you never thought you'd write ...

No.10 has defended the humble sandwich after Kemi Badenoch said it was not “real food”.

New study shows majority of people who voted to leave EU would now accept return to free movement in exchange for access to the single market & similar support for a reciprocal youth mobility scheme.
So when will the government catch up? @europeanmovement.co.uk

BBC Farming Today reports that the Office for Environmental Protection believes Defra may have broken environmental laws in 2023/2024…

…by allowing neonicotinoid pesticides known to be harmful to bees & insects. The last govt gave emergency authorisation for use on sugar beet for last 4 years.

Tories must be starting to yearn for the more professional and coherent leadership they had under Liz Truss

The move from X to Bluesky – a lesson on how progressives can take back control.

Sterling close to its highest value against the Euro since the Brexit referendum. Markets appear to be rewarding the prospect of long term British political stability. Not something you’ve been able to say for a while.

Readout of meeting between UK PM Starmer and EU Council Prez Costa: "They also looked ahead to the first EU-UK Summit in early 2025, agreeing this would provide an important opportunity to make further progress on key areas to deliver tangible benefits for the people of the UK and the EU." ~AA

“How will an ambulance get through?”

A question only asked of those trying to save our planet, not millionaire landowners trying to hoard wealth.

Farmers received record support in the budget. Pay what is still less than your fair share, take your tractors and piss off.

Nothing quite sums up how Kemi Badenoch's leadership is going so far like this interview in which she dismisses sandwiches as being not a "real food" and lunch being "for wimps"

Remember all the outraged coverage about a handful of climate protesters slowing ambulances a few years back?

Well it turns out that wealthy farmers doing exactly the same thing on a much bigger scale is absolutely fine

And THAT is exactly how people with a huge sense of entitlement regularly behave when they get caught out.

You have to laugh at the architect of Brexit, St. Farage posing as a “friend of the farmers” when he sent their livelihoods down the river 😬

He’s a political chameleon 👍
