So much for her insistence on Sunday that protecting the triple lock would be part of the next Conservative manifesto.

Restore Britain candidates. The full statement.

It's quite illuminating how much legislation from previous administration gets left in place when governments change, despite the supposed "opposition" at the time. Indeed, Our Mate Phil pointed out that this would be a bear trap for the Tories as they would be forced to avoid making it a manifesto pledge, despite their whinging here.

Kemi insists that her previous insistence meant that when* she brings the Tories back into power it'll be tricky to reverse.

*tricky

Struggling with the basic question 'how will it work?"

Oh god, I cringed for her as I was watching that!

That kind of "Christian" is surely enough to make anyone turn to atheism!

At least he realises that he doesn't stand a chance.

Struggling.

It's up there with Ian Hislop quizzing Priti Patel about the death penalty on QT.

Me too. Painful.

Yes, it really is very cringeworthy and also really made me laugh watching it.

Even Kemi looked like she was trying not to laugh at one point. Not sure if that was because of nervous embarrassment or whether she perceived the absurdity of having to talk about something that she clearly didn't understand.

Classic!!

“We will get the information to you”, the same line as she trotted out on Laura K about a completely different topic. Never have I seen a politician so woefully unprepared for media interviews in my life.

I pity comedy writers

A Reform UK MP bought an £800,000 second home on a picturesque Welsh island two days after raising concerns in parliament about the impact of second homes on rural communities.

Sarah Pochin completed the purchase of a Grade-II listed property on the southern coast of Anglesey (Ynys Môn).

@DuncinToffee 😳🤣

Can we deport her, please. 🤮

I am sure she will fully integrate and learn the language

I'll report myself

deleted as ir doesn't make sense anymore.

But yet knows what it will cost (at the moment)

Well she can't raise defence spending when she's not in power,can she?

Explaining how she'll undo Labour fuckwittery and economic damage is a moving target, since it's still happening.

Once she's in power, she can give a timeline.

I don't know how anyone can take her seriously but her fangirls seemingly do.

She's an utter joke. Or at least she'd be funny if she wasn't so unpleasant.
