Absolutely amazing. No apology or explanation for the mounting pile of, to say the least, improbable claims, and on top of that, it's published by the GLP, which is clearly doubling down.

That fox must've felt terribly unlucky the kimono killer actually connected with him rather than than twatting a doormat and tripping over the fence.

This is why I think Kemi is extremely high-risk. There is every chance she will step on a rake during the election and then spend two scarce campaigning days insisting that being hit in the face by a rake handle is great actually and part of the plan. And then find another rake.

Politics UK@politicsuk.com · 5h ago🚨 BREAKING: Former neo-Nazi Joshua Bonehill-Paine has resigned as a Tory council candidate "Kemi has instead offered that I become an adviser to the Conservative Party’s Culture and Integration Commission, specifically focusing on how young men become radicalised"
Look, the Tories have political capital to burn, and it's vitally important to the future of the party that they burn it standing up for the rights of Neo-Nazis.
Polanski's ability to make himself the loser in *another party's* political crisis is quite something
Andy Burnham Accepter@jorisbinned.bsky.social · 9h agoHello I'm an idiot
Burnham also has a significant lead on the preferred PM test with others behind none of the above. Badenoch replaces Farage as the more preferred candidate of the right.
just had a horrific vision of the future in which Zack Polanski and Kemi Badenoch have a podcast and now I need a lie down
Fascinated by what happens with Badenoch here, because her entire vibe is that she’s pathologically incapable of admitting she got something wrong/backing down.

Yesterday's market close figure vs pre-market opening today for SpaceX 🙃
To be fair, “Councillors and council elections don’t matter” are a load-bearing part of the “Kemi Badenoch is doing well and the Conservative party’s prospects under her are looking good” thesis.

I love people posting omg life is so much worse than 40 years ago opinions on the World Wide Web using handheld computers an order of magnitude more powerful than the one which powered the moon landings
Tyron@tyron.bsky.social · 12h agoan unfathomable amount of stuff has got better over the last 40 years - hell, even over the *last 15* - and anyone convinced it hasn't does not remember or know what things were like 15 or 40 years ago.
Quite impressive to completely undermine your own defence and insult most of your party's elected officials in the same sentence.

Liam Hoare 🇺🇦@liamhoare.com · 14h agoIt doesn't say much for the Conservative Party that this is the quality of candidate who wants to stand for them now—and that they're willing to defend his selection.
