On Kemi Badenoch’s repeated backing of the Tories' Rwanda plan on Sunday, a Labour spokesperson said:
“Badenoch has no idea how to tackle illegal migration, sticking to the failed Rwanda plan from her multiple Tory predecessors, which cost the tax payer £700 million to send four volunteers [there]"

Not that difficult if you're only a spectator, apparently. Has she even attempted to imagine her own children in that situation?

The Tory Party already know that she needs to be replaced. However, they will still insist on installing another complete and utter moron with the favoured candidate being ‘honest’ Bob Jenrick.
That party is broken beyond repair.

She has the social intelligence and empathy of a stone. She will never be PM. But she can’t even do leader of the opposition responsibly. A total liability. A particularly nasty nail in the Tory party coffin.

The UK is not "sitting on a tinderbox". Some far right thugs are threatening violence and unfortunately some are gullible and go along with it. Right wing politicians and media stoke it up and I'm afraid some elsewhere on the political spectrum sleep walk into lending it all credence. Wake up.

Brazilian president: "I'd like to say something to the American people; If Trump was Brazilian and did what he did at the Capitol, he'd be on trial in Brazil for violating the Constitution. He would be arrested if he had done that."
