    Picking Badenoch is such an own goal, left leaning and moderate people don’t like her because of the far-right culture war rhetoric and she’s very unpopular with the Reform voters she’s suppose to win back.

    My congratulations go to the reform party and Nigel Farage, probable prime minister like 10 years from now.

      No he won’t. They’ve got four seats, one of which doesn’t really count because his support is just a holdover from him being a conservative, that’s not exactly the makings of a political dynasty.

      Also can Nigel Farage even be arsed?

      I’ve read that comment five times and I have absolutely no idea what you’re trying to say.

      I love her Fujitsu postal bug truther stance. It’s so wonderfully unhinged!

      As far as I am aware she has never publicly made any statement about the post office scandal. I can imagine that if she did make a statement it would not be very coherent, but since I do not believe one has been made I’m not sure what you are referring to.

      Given how Starmer’s neolib Labour

      You need to look up neoliberalism because you clearly don’t know what it is.

      decided they want to be the Truss/Sunak Tories on policy

      What? Seriously what the actual hell does that mean? Truss didn’t even have any policies she was only around for about 4 minutes. Meanwhile Sunak’s policies altered depending on who the last person he talked to was.

      she has a non-0 chance of becoming PM this decade!

      The conservatives lost the election because they dicked around with the economy, slashed social benefits, messed about during the worst cost of living crisis in a generation, and engaged in culture war nonsense rather than actually dealing with the very real crisis that was unfolding in front of them. She is literally more of the same, an extremist who is constantly going off on her hunt to eradicate “wokism”. Which is the evil boogeyman of the hard right.

      So because she’s the worst example of the previous administration, she’s going to become PM. Are you drunk?

      The only way the conservatives are going to get back into power is if they convince everyone that they’ve got rid of all of the extremist rubbish, and are now capable of acting like a real political party with adults. Electing an extremist is pretty much the opposite of doing that.

    So Rwanda’s “very lovely gap years” are back on the menu.

    In the words of the late Molly Ivins, one of the best political columnists in the U.S.: “The first rule of holes. When you’re in one, stop digging.”
