There's something mesmerising about Badenoch's combination of supreme intellectual confidence and "Jesus? Didn't he play for Real Madrid?" command of detail.
It's like somebody spliced the certainty of Margaret Thatcher with the work ethic of Boris Johnson.

Politicians constantly claim that the government must “live within its means”, just like any family.
In this video, I explain why the household analogy is not only wrong — it is the foundation of austerity.

If this is how Israel treats a high-profile detainee like Greta Thunberg, I want you to consider how they treat Palestinian detainees.

I note here that the police raided Nicola Sturgeon’s house live on national television because they thought her husband had spent party donations on a camper van
I feel it’s very irresponsible and inflammatory to accept donations from extremely partisan pro-Israel billionaires to help wreck your own party, then conceal them from the authorities while booting the pro-Palestine left for antisemitism, while you facilitate the genocide of the Palestinian people.

Revising *very specific* hate speech laws, I imagine. Not so much a blanket reversal, and more a case of carving out some very particular exemptions.

A trans person being in the same room as you is not a violation of your privacy. Demanding to know whether a person in a room with you is trans or not IS a violation of their privacy. It's endemic of how fucking far the needle has moved that this simple fact is so lost on so many people.
