[Nuthatch26]

A chat thread for those who don't like this Labour government 💙

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Oh no, just saw the thread in active that suggests that Ann Widdicome's death is being treated as suspicious.

That thread is doing my head in.

“I hated her politics but…"
“I disagreed with everything she stood for but…"

etc etc etc

Can people not show sympathy without the added virtue signalling?

ETA: there were some vile tweets on X and BlueSky this morning celebrating her death.

Oh, I just read the thread title and checked the telegraph. I hate people like that, total cunts, to be expected on this site though.

I know. I’m really saddened by the crowing and the disclaimer isn’t needed.

Thank you for this @Upstartledinteresting

That’s the left for you. Graceless.

Everything in left-wing world is political and judged politically, even the deaths - natural or suspicious - of political friends or foes.

Why oh why do people caveat that they did not agree with someone's politics before giving their condolences . This horrendous Murder gives credence to everything Nigel Farage has been saying about his life being under constant threat. The establishment will try to say 'Politics' was not the driver of Ann's Murder but sadly it may be that she was the easiest of any known Reform associate to get at !

I think taking glee in Reform losing three points in a Poll at the moment is appalling !

The tolerant left never fail to disappoint.

Kemi seemed a bit shell shocked when talking about it.

I've just heard about this

That is really shocking.

The revolting comments are less surprising.

26 year old man Arrested in Newton Abbott on suspicion of Murder of Ann Widdecombe

Perhaps Kemi needs to reflect on how she put the boot in to Nigel Farage and Reform on hearing this news !

Kemi Badenoch is better than some rabble rousing left wing Shit Spreaders yet she joined in with them !

I'm sorry about Ann. She was very fair in her thoughts on politics.

I was gaining respect for until this week but she is just opportunistic like all the rest of the uniparty.

What has Kemi choosing not to indulge Farage got to do with this horrible murder?

I fail to see what Badenoch has done in any way that’s wrong.

I'm doubt she minds. You can't win over everyone.

I'm not sure what she's said today about the murder which Reform voters could get upset about. If it could be linked?

I must have missed something. I haven't seen any news, stuck travelling today and have only read reports. What did Kemi say? I still think of Widdicome as an old school Tory and, even as a reform member, I don't know how Kemi juxtaposed the two. Or was it that the reporter asked the two questions in succession?

And Reddit, unsurprisingly

Sorry that was to the comment re x and Bluesky

@Upstartled I haven't seen much but only a very upset looking Kemi offering condolences to Reform (and personal loved ones of course).

I missed her statement but I bet it feels shocking to her.

Labour are also down one. What happened to the Burnham Bounce?

I just heard about Ann Widdecombe on my way home. It has made me incredibly sad and shocked.
