Not sure if this is an April's fool

We should have a referendum.

"Do you want cheaper stuff ?"

Yes
No.

(Amazingly that is actually more detailed that the 2016 referendum)

It's not an April's Fool. I did like Stella Creasy's April Fool about her joining Cbeebies News. For a nanosecond I was fooled 😄

Going well for Reform in Pen-Y-Bont Bro Morgannwg then.

Da iawn. I couldn't be more pleased for them. ☺️

Oh wait, National Potholes Patrol probably is. Though every day's an April's Fool day with Badenoch.

Blimey. My normally Starmer-loathing DH has just said that he thinks Starmer did well in his speech and press conference today.😲

Strange times are upon us.

It was a good speech, closest he could come to a 'fuck Trump' as well

Excellent speech. Exactly what we need right now.

"Strange days indeed .."

John Lennon, now Keir Starmer !

.

If only that were true!

Twas not. I repeat, it wasn't an April's Fool. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2026/apr/01/keir-starmer-rachel-reeves-iran-energy-bills-supermarket-cost-of-living-uk-politics-latest-news-updates

Why is she wearing those shoes when she knew this was the plan?

Thanks placemats 😂

Kemi keeps on digging herself a bigger hole.

Someone really should have warned her.

😂

Oh God. I am cringing for her.

Eta: this is just another recycled chunk of Reform performative nonsense, isn't it? With a dash of Johnson thrown in.

I am struggling to believe it is not an elaborate April's fool 😅

Tory planning

Me too. If it is, then kudos to Kemi.

I'm struggling to believe that Kemi has the wit to stage this as an elaborate April's Fool.

She just posted a few minutes ago on her Facebook account. It is definitely not an April Fool.

She has a slightly worrying fetish for large machines. Tanks, tractors, JCBs.

Fucking hell, how can we trust the leader of the opposition to make sound decisions with good judgement when she can't even dress appropriately for the job in hand.

That's an example of the best the conservatives have!

Normally I frown on pot shots about clothing, but dressing appropriately for the job is a basic requirement surely. And where is her hard hat. Absolute health and safety nightmare. Doesn't she need a CSCS card to work on a worksite with heavy machinery?
Edited again- and a licence to drive that piece of kit?
