Good on Kemi!

Hope you're minted enough to afford astronomical health insurance/private health care.

Turkeys voting for Christmas.

Tories like nothing better than lying and making things up...

We're concerned here with facts rather than opinions. People's memories are very unreliable. The reality is that Labour took over a total shitshow, and no government could conceivably have turned that around in less than two years - but they get blamed for it.

There were no power cuts in the Labour years. Please stop gaslighting.

More strike days lost under the Cons 1970 to 1974 than in the Lab govt of 1975 to 79...
Yes i was surprised to see that (ONS)

IMF vs ERM fiasco.. interest rates of 15%.... wow! £ collapsed too....

#ToryCompetence

Good game of Top Trumps but might better to look at more recent history, after all, everyone who was in Government back then is almost certainly dead.

So, we have Liz Truss - Conservative, backed by Kemi Badenoch

who at the time of the mini-Budget tweeted that Truss and Kwarteng were 100% right and was happy to serve in Truss's Government.

Plenty of power cuts through the Labour years.

Winter of discontent- Labour
IMF bailout - Labour

Yep

The power cuts were when Heath was PM.

It’s hilarious how short and selective people’s memories are regarding the previous Tory shower we had in government, the damage they did and the legacy they left for someone else to fix. I see former Tories like Johnson and Truss preaching about all the failings they now see in government and telling people what to do, and continue to be amazed at that level of delusion and arrogance. It’s like they and their supporters are living in a parallel universe.

And as for Farage - his connections with the US far right, the pro-Kremlin European far right and Russian influence itself should be very alarming to all. I’m very keen to see the conclusions on the investigation into Russian influence and think, like many, that this needs to be investigated on a much wider scale and include Brexit.

I see that the Daily ‘Hurrah for the Blackshirts!’ Mail is promoting the idea of unity between the Tories and Reform, so let’s see how that works out. A match made in hate.

Almost all of the power cuts occurred in 1972 - Miners strike and power rationing & then in 1974.... with the 3 day week, let me google who was in Govt during that period...

Oh Edward Heath - with his Conservative Govt.

Sadly, yes

You are right, it was absolutely bloody awful. I remember it all too well, my father was suicidal, they wrecked him. All the power cuts were quite fun for child-me I suppose!

I like Kemi. Strong on supporting women’s rights. Didnt’t get enough time when tories were in power to ban trans men invading women’s sports and spaces. A lovely voice, too, But she faces an uphill battle. Wish her power. 💪

What a sorry state of affairs if anyone truly believes that Reform with its random mix of failed Tories, Putin loyalists and Brexit promoters are really what this country needs. Farage can lecture about what's wrong with this country and gets support from the right wing press, but has no answers, just rhetoric. There is plenty of positives about the UK and I'm tired of hearing otherwise.
Farage even pretended he isn't racist and didn't know Nathan Gill. You can't trust him.
Well done Kemi for sacking someone who was leaving anyway. Pathetic bunch.

This.

Well said!

Why do you think she is vile? I can understand having a different political opinion, but what has she done to be vile?

Doesn't make me like her any more than I ever did. She's a vile individual who doesn't like being dictated to by another vile individual. Wankers the lot of them.

I like Kemi too. I hope she gets the chance to be PM.

I don’t agree, I honestly think enough people will vote tactically to keep them out. People forget the Greens are also doing quite well.

I think a hung parliament or coalition is much more likely. Anyway we’ll see in when it happens, a lot can happen in week as they say in Politics never mind a few years.

It's a change in as much as Labour is full of failed Labour MPs and whereas it took 14 years and 4 general elections to get fed up of the Tories it's only taken 18 months to get fed up of Labour again - much less in my case.

I’ve never voted 🗳️ Tory but Kemi is a bad a55… absolutely nails PMQs and love she took this clown down before he got to humiliate her.

Never ever thought I’d ever say it but I’d rather this smart lady was our PM vs Kier and the Incapables…

Whatever your political stance you have to come to the realisation that Reform will probably win the next election. Seeing as people have lost faith in the Conservatives and Labour quite frankly are a joke.I think he has been disloyal and I can't blame Kemi for her actions. However hes jumped on the Reform gravy train and I think alot more will follow him.

Kemi is a Queen. She is really good. Shame on the tories for letting themselves go and not doing the basics for people. She has a hard hill to climb but if she she doesn’t succeed the shame won’t be on her.

That’s right, so he can sell it off to American investors. Have you not connected the dots? He’s a trumps brown ring licker. Him, Putin and Trump are all in cahoots on project 2025.

Trump is interested in making money from the UK health system and Farage is a vehicle for achieving that. Nige doesn’t give a single fuck about the British people. He’s following the money. That is literally it. He’s counting on people like you to not see what’s happening so you’ll sleep walk into selling your own country down the proverbial river.

Be careful what you wish for.

The NHS is one of the best systems in the world for access and equity.

It clearly needs improvements but Reform cannot be trusted.
