It probably won't happen but the prospect of Badenoch leading a Tory general election campaign is a joy. Every time she leaves X and enters the real world, she is hilariously inept and crass.

Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.
I’m old enough to remember the whole press annihilating Corbyn for alleged antisemitism and they’re fkn SILENT on the #ToryScum standing as a candidate an ACTUAL FKN NAZI!
So Badenoch would recruit a neo-Nazi but *not* someone who didn’t want to leave the ECHR or someone who supported our NetZero commitments. Second chances for this guy but not Dominic Grieve. The Tory party is truly wretched. It’s screwed the country, betrayed its own and lost its tiny mind.
![Badenoch defends former neo-Nazi pick as council candidate
By Will Meakin-Durrant
Kemi Badenoch has said her party
"believes in second chances".
, after
the Conservatives selected a former neo-Nazi once jailed for harassing a Jewish former MP as a local election candidate.
Joshua Bonehill-Paine
posted on social media that he was "tremendously proud" that he has been chosen to stand for election to Somerset Coun-cil, in the Crewkerne South ward.
Bonehill-Paine (inset) was jailed in 2016 after he was convicted of racially aggravated harassment.
He wrote several blog posts about the former Labour MP for Liverpool Wavertree, Baroness Luciana Berger, labelling her "an evil money-grabber" with a "deep-rooted hatred of men".
He was previously jailed for producing an ad illustrated with a picture of the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz, which promised "an absolute gas" at a rally in Golders Green, north London.
Badenoch said: "I want to be very clear - and I think people can look at me and know that I'm not a person who would be recruiting neo-Nazis.
"Josh is someone who actually has been certified by the Home Office to train police officers on antisemitism and on countering extremism.
"Yes, he [has] previously convicted but he has shown contrition for his crimes, has been rehabilitated and is spending every day working to solve the very problem which he knew that he had caused previously.
"And the Conservative Party believes in second chances."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:c4xtyto7nrklhfkroyrsce2w/bafkreicb7ehutwjwq4iundbhvecrngv57va75dd54vru2qurb7gq2ve3xa)
Somewhat incredibly Badenoch has just been defending this man on the Today programme
Otto English@ottoenglish.bsky.social · 2d agoJoshua Bonehill-Paine Self-styled "nationalist, fascist, theorist and supporter of white rights” who was jailed in 2015 for antisemitic online posts.... Selected as a Tory candidate.
Badenoch represents double-down conservatism. Never apologise or moderate. Insult your opponents. Patronise journalists when challenged. Contradict yourself, lie, whatever it takes, but never back down. And that's how you end up creating an extremely avoidable Tory antisemitism scandal overnight
Reform UKs plan to use the Royal Navy to intercept migrant boats in the Channel brilliantly taken apart by ... er ... Nigel Farage
Ruzzia has really fucked up invading UKRAINE USA has really fucked up invading IRAN So we don't just have climate change, we have geopolitical change to contend with. If only we stayed in the EU - fuck Brexit and all those who supported it.
On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂↕️
Incredible nonsense from John Cornyn. True, the harm to Epstein’s victims can’t be remedied by a “no” vote. But why should Blanche’s corrupt cover-up of the Epstein files—in violation of a Congressional mandate(!)—be rewarded by “yes”? Can’t get any more craven than this.

You could have voted no on Blanche. Idiot.

If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.
RFKJr claims Lyme disease was created by scientists,which is the closest he’s come to admitting that science exists. Meanwhile, Ötzi the Iceman, who died more than 5.3K years ago, had Lyme disease. Apparently prehistoric humans are part of the conspiracy. Get me off this timeline
It's been an absolute honour to visit Clacton fewer times than I've visited America, hold zero surgeries and do fuck all for the town.
I think we're generally much too chill about how mainstream and normal this weird, obsessive anti-Irish stuff is in the UK. #speirgorm
If you want to understand in part how Trump was elected, remember the James Bond film License to Kill was initially called License Revoked, as his license to kill was revoked, but they decided that the Americans had no fucking clue what the word ‘revoked’ meant.
It says a lot about a politician when 20% of people would rather vote for a bin.
BREAKING: The newly elected Prime Minister of Hungary announced that Netanyahu will be arrested if he enters Hungary.
Rod Liddle advocating the dropping of a small nuclear weapon on Glastonbury to rid 'us' of these troublesome oiks. Oh, but it's just tongue-in-cheek fun, an amusing quip, Rod just being Rod, deniable! A glimpse into what the elite really think of us. He's a lightning rod for their vilest views.
Rod is Rid and the world is a better place without him. And not just a liddle
Nigel Farage taking time out from campaigning against a bin to claim a Reform government would land Royal Navy boats on French beaches without French consent.
I shed zero tears for Rod Liddle. He literally bragged, in writing, about being a paedophile. I hope his soul is in hell where it belongs.
BREAKING: Parliamentary standards commissioner is now investigating Reform UK’s Deputy Leader Richard Tice (as well as its paused investigation into Nigel Farage). Tice is being investigated for allegedly failing to declare a financial interest.
