Kemi bad-enoch named Terry Pratchett as her favourite author but the philosophy in his stories are the exact opposite of what she espouses. How can she have this cognitive dissonance #kemibadenoch #wtf

“The political strategy, at its core - get into power and instead of looking after your base, devote the first year to p***ing off your base, in favour of voters who will probably never come to you - is so poor and predictably disastrous that I don’t understand how McSweeney is still in Downing St.”

Two of the mis-steps people say Labour took are the changes to WFP and PIP. Before the policy was implemented the Government changed tack. Nobody lost a penny but many have benefited from the raise in minumum wage, free breakfast clubs and free additional childcare hours. Let's talk about that eh.
