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

I am sorry that nuance escapes you.

Ok that’s great, no need to be sorry.

Perhaps, like pp, she doesn't understand anything about recent history. Or doesn't care.

Oh and by the way. Not everyone who works in McDonald's is working class. When I was at school my pals both middle and working class worked in supermarkets because they wanted pocket money

Getting down with the plebs is a really poor look.

I'm proud of being working class. That's because I am. Not because I worked in McDonald's when I was at uni

Yes he does indeed. He has been so lacklustre and uninspiring. An easy target.

Do you mean when she apologised after a young member of staff used footage that they didn't understand without her knowledge? Footage that was immediately removed as soon as this became apparent? The Conservative Party has apologised, and Kemi has apologised.

It’s telling.

Same old, same old.

Haven't seen her in years, so I have no idea.

Where does Rayner fit into this? She appears to deploy a correlation between working class and being straight/honest (when she is patently anything but).

Good to know that your opinion is based on current knowledge/experience, then.

I don't disagree that some kids are, but the definition of poverty as over £500 a week after housing costs which means 1 in 3 kids are defined as living in poverty (including my own I suppose), means that the word has lost its meaning.

It would better help those truly in need if the definition was more meaningful. Poverty in many case may not be due to lack of funds. It may be due to parents inadequately managing the funds they have (for Instance my salary wouldn't be adequate if I was funding a drug addiction)

Oh look, a squirrel!

Unlikely to be a red one.

I trap and euthanise the grey ones.

Erm she is on the news daily.

It is based on current experience and knowledge.

‘I know her personally’.

Present tense.

OK.

✌🏾

No one is arguing there is not poverty. Of course there is.

But do you think 1 in 3 families (who have £2296 a month after housing costs, more than I earn) are living in poverty?

What kind of family has £2296 after housing cost?

Can I apply?

So we can add lying grifter to his rap sheet too. Glad he's finally getting scrutinised properly.

Traditionally the difference between the Tories and Labour was that the Tories would hold together because no differences of opinion was more important to them than gaining and retaining power, whereas the Labour Party traditionally has been riven with factionalism and people who would rather be right and in opposition than have someone of the opposing faction in a Labour government. The only successful Labour governments are those who manage to shut down the opposing factions and tell them in no uncertain words to STFU, and that requires someone with a will of iron, and competent enforcers like Blair. The Tories, once they emulated Labour and decided to tear themselves apart over Europe made themselves a laughing stock. I have never voted Tory ( although I have this time because its a straight Tory/Reform fight in my ward) but all the Tories need to do is revert to type in order to be successful again. I've always voted Labour but with more and more reluctance in each election. If the Lib Dems decided to stop sleeping on the job, Id vote for them, but I'm glad a gender critical party is around. I suspect the Green/Reform bounce wont last until the next election. Particularly when its so easy to see through the extremist shitshow that is the Green party and the incompetence of Reform councils.

😂

Bless

Can't say he isn't trying.

You what now? You asked for the source, I shared a gifted article in The Times. Were you disappointed with the source? I expect you were hoping for it to be in the telegraph.
When are Labour planning to start righting the wrongs as you put it?

Saw a clip when she was talking about antisemitism and she was sticking up for the Jewish people which was great to see

Me too! That is the definition of poverty though.

Hence me talking about it losing it's meaning as a concept.
