I really hope they put differences aside and unite.

Kemi Badenoch says he's been misrepresented

Badenoch is so poor at PMQs that tomorrow would be an opportunity to gain some brownie points. It seems she's unable to disable the self destruct button.

Vance is now reverse ferreting. What a slimy arsehole he is. Eta: probably why Badenoch is now bleating about him being misrepresented.

Vance is Just Dense.

He is Trump's XL bully.

Absolute bollocks.

Vance said in reference to the peacekeeping force - “20,000 troops from some random country that has not fought a war in 30 or 40 years”

Exactly which random country was he referring to?

Badenoch is a fool if she thinks he is fooling anyone.

Didn’t take her long to revert, did it?

Ed Davey on Bluesky.

Even the shadow defence minister James Cartlidge has condemned Vance for his remarks

Seem to have sorted the adblocker (seems MN aren't hiring the best) for now.

At this point, is anyone contacting their MP to ask that the UK government ceases supplying the US with our data ? You know - all that NHS data they'll use for whatever people Trump is working for want to use it for ? Maybe a government petition ?

Also how dim is St. Kemi ? She had a golden ticket to destroy the Reform threat, and instead she chose to dump on our armed forces. Not really a great look for a Tory leader.

Suspect her social media is full of Vance supporters.

Good shout. I will do this when I get home.

I've had an email from mnhq (suspending my account if I don't play well). I queried a personal attack, was told it was for goading which is against talk guidelines.

Does this mean that every piece of misinformation, disinformation, Trump supporting, Putin loving post (or many of them) is goading? I mean it's goading to me.

Asking for a friend.

MNHQ needs to get its priorities right.

hollow laugh

Badenoch on Vance's comments. Lot of blinking going on

Land of the free!

Free speech 🇺🇸

Ach, just play their game if you want to stay. There’s no reasoning with Talk Guidelines. Goading, including political goading, attracts clicks, which advertisers like. This version of MN is all about advertising revenue and employees are going to follow TG to the letter. Which is how the owners want it to be, whether that’s moral and fair or not.

Being able to drop a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week is one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.

Winning.

He's out-Trussed Truss. I bet she idolises him even more.

I wonder how many people Trump will attempt to sue for saying he trashed the economy.

I think Kemi saw how well her opposing view to Farage on not appeasing Putin went down and didn't think to check he may be like a stopped clock and actually right on JD Vance - but just jumped on with her alternate view. I didn't realise how dire she would be tbh but Tories have lost too many 'original' MPs now I think to ever return to United reasonable roots, as Kemi seems determined to lose any that do remain (are there any?)

I had a naughty letter too. Personal attacks. I thought I’d followed the rules about not saying someone was something but that their behaviour was, or made them look, it. As you say. I’ll play the game now and accept that I need to focus entirely on the words.

A lot of Reform types are those that fetishise the UKs military past. I can't see them being naturally attracted to anyone who even hints at agreeing with any disrespect.
