A gift to Farage

I think Badenoch might oversee the end of the Tories.

Stephen Flynn commending Starmer's response to Badenoch. She might not be unting her own party, but she is uniting much of the rest of Westminster.

The outspoken supporters of the sainted Kemi have gone rather quiet these days. At least her getting the leadership has exposed how inadequate she is.

@BIossomtoes I think so too.

Alex Andreou

She's either clueless or already pitching for an X-job, for after she becomes another Tory X-leader.

UUh? i thought Robert Jenrick was the Con leader?

She is clueless. What will it look like as if possible, the Conservatives are the sole party to vote against a safeguarding bill for children?

Why is she busy making a stick to beat herself with? Mad

I'm not that hopeful.

This pretty much sums it up.

latest Tory advert Despicable

Fucking arseholes. Sorry.

Disgusting.

Thats a disgraceful "advert"

How far has this once great party has fallen.

It is clearly revenge for this advert, which was actually based on fact. Though possibly misguided.

To be fair - that's just a parody of the much criticised adverts that Labour put out - it's repellent but I didn't rate the Labour ones either.

What it will look like is the Tories are the sole party voting in favour of a new investigation. The collapse of the a bill happens if the amendment passes. They’ll then spend the next however long saying Labour voted against an investigation.

I don't know. They are just terrible. There are lots of economic Tories who will probably find this pretty distasteful but you have to remember the current opposition are really the dregs.

Farage will clean up.

Farage dealt fairly good humouredly with Starmer commenting on Musk’s comments about him.

@cardibach they have nowhere near the numbers! Reform may abstain. It will look awful

Yes because he isn't hectoring Dalek like Badenoch. Honestly he looks personable. Starmer talks to him!

All she wants is to be able to say they voted for an 8nvestigatuon and Labour whipped to block it. Most people won’t understand why, and Tories will look like they were the ones protecting children when in fact the opposite is true.

They won’t if the LibDems and Greens vote with Labour.

"They won’t if the LibDems and Greens vote with Labour."

Fuck sakes, I'll have to email my MP.
They won't retain my vote if they join in dicking kids around so Badenoch can schmooze Musk and SYL.

Not to people who understand what’s happening. They’ll still be able to say they voted for an investigation and alabour voted against.
