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

Universities have been told to publish data on antisemitic incidents on campuses as the head of the body that represents UK vice-chancellors said there was a serious problem with anti-Jewish prejudice among students.

Sir Keir Starmer on Tuesday said he expected universities “to publish the scale of the problem” after talks in Downing Street to discuss recent attacks, including the stabbing of two Jewish men in the Golders Green area of north London last week.

Ok, I am guessing the square root of FA.

Am I right?

I don't march for Palestine because of the greens. I don't vote green. I live in Scotland and the greens don't have a huge presence here. I do it for my friend Saeeed who was an asylum seeker and was told by the Israeli forces if he ever returned he would be shot dead. Even when he got asylum he was so scared of being sent back - he disappeared

Hth

The figures and statistics don't suggest that Muslims are less likely to be attacked. 45% of the most recently recorded hate crimes motivated by religion have been targeted at Muslims.

And last year from July 2025 to October 2025 there were 25 attacks on UK mosques, including an arson attack in Peacehaven and a petrol bomb in Belfast.

I don't think it's helpful to try and minimise the dangers of anti Muslim hate. We can show support for victims of racism in both communities without trying to deligitimise the discrimination faced by one or the other.

But we are, despite not having voted in favour of it, a dispersal area, and I see almost daily, one young man wandering around our beautiful valley. He's always alone. I feel terribly sorry for him too as he appears to be a fish completely out of water, without an environment.

@JollyDenimSeal , he probably should have moved to Plymouth. The West End looks like Damascus. With Janners, who are quite wild, it sounds like a helluva social cocktail. Just not one I want to live in.

Principles!😆

How was saying maternity pay is excessive being on top of her brief? It’s anti maternity rights and anti women.

Yes exactly. Kemi wanted to go to war with Iran, then flip flopped back into denying that she ever said she wanted to go to war with Iran.
she was useless in her roles as Minister for women and equalities.
Kemi recently said we have too much maternity benefits in this country.
I admire her for her thick skin though. I have seen Kier Starmer wipe the floor with her so many times during PMQs that I don’t know how she can show her face again.

Her last government gave us:
1.190’000 excess deaths due to austerity measures
2.lower health expectancy back to 2014 levels again due to austerity. This is the amount of time we can expect to live without a chronic illness.
3.higher mortgage rates we have to thank liz truss for that one and for nearly tanking our pensions thanks to her hubris.
4.widespread use of foodbanks. Last Labour govt in 2013 there were 680 foodbanks. End of the last Tory govt there were 2881 approx. We have become a foodbank nation. We have had a 12 percent decrease in emergency food parcels since labour came into power but the number is still too high in my opinion.

This and she thought we should be bombing Iraq. if she lasts until the next election how do we know she will be the Leader of the Party given how many they had in the last few years

If the general public took more responsibility for their own personal health, by taking exercise, learning to cook from scratch and eating better instead of ordering another takeaway meal, we would eradicate a significant part of the problem. And we'd have fewer health problems too.

She talks about her politicies a lot though!! I think you are just making stuff up because you have a personal dislike for the lady.

No she doesn’t. She justifies not having policies! It’s careful Conservatism apparantly. No Kemi it’s simply having no policies and no tools other than dissing the opposition. Dull and ineffective.

Why would anyone be bombing Iraq?

Exactly!!😂

Just to say sorry I provided a link earlier that was behind a paywall.

Kemi: “I would say to Labour MPs, we are in this war whether they like it or not. What is the prime minister waiting for?”

Keir Starmer accuses Kemi Badenoch of U-turn on Iran war

😁

Thats exactly what kier does!! Isn't he still banging on about 'oh we had 14 years of the tories to make up for' every time something goes wrong!! He got rid of Boris due to his constant "dull" witch huntery and now, karma is giving it all back to him! Ha.

It is so obviously a typo.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Totally agree. She's probably the only Politician i can bear to listen to, she's got no time for the trans nonsense, she knows exactly what a woman is and that we need single sex spaces, goddess love her. And she stands up to the useless spineless blokes like Starmer. I may break the habit of a lifetime and vote Tory

You did provide a link, thank you.
But the link does not support your claim that Kemi wanted to join the war. She was calling for greater defence of our airbases.
Her position has been consistent, unlike Starmer. Posting that she wanted to join the war is misinformation (possible disinformation).

She knows most Britons people hear “Nigeria” and think “poverty” so she can spin all kinds of BS knowing people will lap it up.

Never trust anyone who says men can be women.

That's beyond unreasonable, she's a gibbering idiot who can barely string two words together sensibly never mind an entire sentence!

Well let's see what the evidence shows and whether KB - on the spot - can 'string two words together'.
