To think Kemi Badenoch is starting to talk an increasing amount of sense

[Sonato]

Never voted conservative a day in my life.

Seriously comsidering it after recent performances

Did you check the bond market?

Afghanistan had an earthquake and hundreds of women were left under the rubble because rescuers refused to touch them. Women’s wounds were left untended and neglected because of the no-skin rule.

As well as being a good speaker, having some policies and an understanding that runs deeper than superficial soundbites are key. Sadly, Badenoch has neither of the latter.

A Labour supporter not noticing their soundbites, meanwhile most people are fed up with the obvious lines.

And Labour and old friend Peter Mandelson? Keir Starmer’s niece has also been parachuted in to stand as a Councillor in Croydon. Long standing local party members not happy.

I am not a Labour supporter. Baffling though it seems to be for some, it doesn't have to be binary Labour or Conservative support.

Who do you want to be in power?

None of them seem up to it at the moment.

Why don’t you say what you are?

Not what you aren’t.

I think we are in agreement. My salary is around £1800 after tax, I work full time. I also have to pay my mortgage and bills from that. We have quite a frugal life, and there is nothing left over, but my children are not growing up in poverty, for goodness sake.

As mentioned, the word poverty had lost its meaning.

Who are you, the voting police?

I said I didn't like Badenoch and that's what this thread is about. Remember?

There has been a pile on from some posters who only see things in this way. I feel it is very rude to appoint us with what they have got a thing about. Some of us look at the question that has been asked by the OP and think about it!

Agree but you can see from this thread, how many people are taken in by it. Could she actually be PM and effect all her big ideas? I think she is just clever enough to know what to say to the electorate at this point in time. Beyond that, I don’t know. Being an opposition leader is an easy job. It’s essentially all talk.

I have no idea who should run this country. But I very much want it to be someone who does not take us into an expensive and dangerous war.

But some peoples kids are growing up in poverty. By the way the poster you are responding to said earlier that there was no such thing as poverty because she used to live near a council estate and used to see kids having a snack and had a phone and all their mums were on UC and low educated and didn't work

I find the distrustful "if you are not for us, you must be against us" mentality very odd.

Starmer is a gift to the opposition.

And he keeps on giving.

Who are you the question police

They answered anyway, with the usual no one.

I miss Sunak

We get it, you don’t like him.

This is the mentality I am talking about.

If you think the word poverty has lost its meaning. I give to a Scottish charity who help people who have little. You buy Christmas presents and the family give them. They helped 14k people last year. I bought for babies last year. There are some women fleeing violence who have nothing. Zero

There is a baby bank in my area who helps families who have nothing.

Go look up Tanisha Bramwell. She's an independent councillor who runs a food bank. There are people who go to her who have nothing. Folk sitting with no electricity or gas. People with no food

Including people who work. Her premises were firebombed recently as some wants to stop the work she is doing

There are two pawn shops in my local town. There have been none since the 60s. Why is that? Because people are poor

You what now? Someone has to do the job and given your views on KB perhaps you want someone else.

Everyone says they don’t like KB but then answer with ‘no one’, which doesn’t really work.

Yes me too, with your posts. Although someone does actually have to do the job.

She celebrated murderers this weekend as they were actively murdering and maiming innocent people in Derry on 30 January 1972.
