She’s right on Corner. Polanski is far off

Muslims suffer the most hate crime.

Badenoch strongly supported sending asylum seekers to Rwanda which was not only vile but useless and a big waste of money.

She has no policies and contributed handsomely to the chronic ineptitude of the Tories this country had to suffer for 14 years. When the Tories sink even lower tomorrow I sincerely hope they get rid of her asap.

Exactly, your the only one going off just facts not feelings.

He'll need Labour members to vote for him. If there are too many 'Far Right' ( or slightly Right of Mao) candidates and Burnham starts talking about immigration again the Left will throw their toys out of the pram and put Richard Burgeon or someone up, and he'll get in somehow, fast tracking us into an IMF bailout. Hopefully enough of the realm crackpots have gone to The Greens for it not to make a dent.

He doesn't need to win anything, once he puts his hat into the ring while everyone is ringing around trying to get their 20%, it'd be good to think that at least one of them will be pushing back on the narrative that we can minimise defence, ignore the bond markets and let the benefits system run us into the ground.

Richard Burgeon! 😂

Absolutely, and he's gunning for Milliband's funding too. Oh this is shaping up to be quite the spectacle.

I think he might be honing a leadership bid.

I never knew people would be so triggered by The Waterboys. I might fill the thread with Waterboys song suggestions.

Go for it. I can’t say I’m using the links, I have music already here.

Interesting to see Al Carns echo Kemi Badenoch's opinion that we need to cut benefits to secure the necessary funding for our armed forces.

Triggered? 🤣 No. Sorry, it's just not my cup of tea. Have at it though, no skin off my nose.

Still though, I'd tolerate that over the nasal tones of Keir Starmer delivering his whatthreewords election promises.

Ha true

🤷🏼‍♀️ Folk rock whinging - it's not for me. It certainly didn't make it into the school disco in 1991, that's for sure.

I am very glad to hear that it didn't.

Why would you think that? The lyrics below are a bit depressing.

Maybe you'll find this a bit more cheery. Or maybe A Bang on the Ear. Or The Pan Within.

If Badenoch said she likes The Waterboys, you would be agreeing with her Wink

Ooh. Tricky one! Maybe she does. The Whole of the Moon is quite famous.

No nerve @Smeuse. Just the back and forth of a conversation when people are happy to answer questions.

No man, I don't care who's shovelling that, you can keep it. It's right up there with, well I don't know what, that's quite something.
