Sunak’s comms team play another blinder by getting him to make a TikTok walking away from a blank sheet of paper to imply that Labour have no plan. This is Labour’s response 🤣 https://x.com/uklabour/status/1797332094990831616?s=61&t=xKCXjKa1-S6Ks0nSd_LXGg

To be fair they are not alone.

What are the lines at the moment? Is it still back to square 1?

RafaistheKingofClay · 02/06/2024 22:57

You do have to wonder whether Labour have managed infiltrate the Tory comms team.

Looks like tomorrow is trans stuff.

Having just seen Tomorrow's Papers

Not sure I can bear to come on MN tomorrow then.

"Coincedentally" it's similar headlines in the Mail, Express, Times and Telegraph. For some reason

@RafaistheKingofClay I have been wondering if the enemy is within, a disgruntled Boris supporter who is more interested in humiliating Sunak than winning votes

They really do. I bet working with them is so much fun.

Don't forget about adding a clause about it being reasonable!

And the word limited needs to appear.

The FWR thread on it is heartening actually.

Seems like Badenoch is struggling to detail what the proposals actually mean on R4

Well to be fair, they didn't exist until about 12 hours ago.

Surely any fule in comms kno that if you put up a blank space in a TikTok it's child's play to fill it. They've played straight into Labour's hands and made Sunak look incompetent, yet again.

Scruffily · 03/06/2024 08:51

Lordy, Badenoch has been saying she is proud of the Tories' record on the NHS. Has she been in any A&E department recently? Her timing is exquisite, the Royal College of Nursing has described NHS overcrowding as a national emergency.

I wonder how much the Tories are paying someones mate for this ? Because that mate has clearly fucked off with the money and asked his next door neighbours kids to "have a go" whilst it's trebles all round.

There is something almost zen like about tories ripping other tories off.

Evenstar · 03/06/2024 08:56

@Scruffily I am beginning to think that accusing Sunak of being a “tech bro” was entirely unjust 🤣

There is a quote "doing the rounds" which is from an unnamed Tory source about Sunak being a "Tech bro from another mo". ITV are running a clip on it.

Yes. I just heard her explaining it essentially means no change just businesses can't be sued if they choose to be for biological women. But they can choose to be mixed sex.
Masterclass in saying nothing!

DuncinToffee · 03/06/2024 09:17

I think she cleared up that you don't need a birth certificate to enter a toilet Wink

But this from her is horrendous

Mishal Husain: Is it appropriate for any Tory candidate(Liz Truss) to appear on a podcast associated with Carl Benjamin.. who joked about not even raping Jess Phillips

Kemi Badenoch: "I don't think those comments are appropriate... I think this is trivial & unserious"
