There is nothing Badenoch cares more about than hating trans people so of course she has to throw that in and of course she does it in the crassest, thickest, most nonsensical way possible

It's also very selective glorification of their efficiency. They're building far more solar and wind than nuclear, but she won't mention that.

Badenoch: "While Britain was redefining what a woman is, China built five nuclear reactors."

A perfect summary of conservative idiocy. Glorifying authoritarian post-communism for its efficiency while vilifying democracy for seeking nuance and respect.

It is the Right who hate their own countries.

The EU is trying to follow WTO rules rather than mimic Trump, and some over there are "disappointed" that the UK went off on its own to butter him up for advantage, rather than perhaps joining a big group to stand up to him.

Heseltine was the first Tory MP to publicly criticise Enoch Powell after Rivers of Blood in 1968. Let him cook

There should be a word for a huge but pointless event, such as a leader making announcements in a conference speech that will never be implemented and which not even the faithful will pay any attention to because the leader will be gone in a matter of months.

I just don't think there are that many people going "Well I wasn't going to vote for them before, but this policy of driving people out of studying the arts and humanities has changed my mind".

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch.

Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

I’ve seen people anxious about the demise of the Tories. But that could only be for the Tories of yesteryear. Not those of today Philp, Jenrick, Badenoch and their ilk. Whilst these people infest the Tories I’m glad they’re finished.

Decent Tories need to start anew if any left

It's the laugh that's killing me!

Millions of people to benefit from £20 million to keep local museums open and thriving £20 million investment in civic museums to protect opening hours and jobs, as part of the government’s ongoing commitment to ensure museums can continue to tell our national story at a local level

Local museums in 75 areas across England are to receive £20m funding from the government's Museum Renewal Fund.

It will enable millions of people to continue to celebrate their local heritage through new or improved exhibits, protection of opening hours, jobs and community & educational programmes.

OK, I'm very, very bored with Badenoch now. She can fuck off into the Sun.

She's stupid, incompetent, work-shy, and rude.

In fact, the Earth has developed aa slight orbital eccentricity due to the speed with which Thatcher is spinning in her grave.

Who's fault is it Kemi?

Hey hey, it's time for the second and final part of Karl Marx. The struggle to write Capital and why it mattered. Bust-ups with Bakunin. Fame at last. His disastrous finances. And the fight to define Marxism after his death. We do the reading so you don't have to.

I’m thinking Kemi BadEnoch should change her name to WorseThanEnoch 🙄

It's properly unconscionable that the Home Office has created this situation. It should never have been allowed to happen and once it did happen it should have been immediately reversed.

A cartoon depicts a man and a woman walking side by side on a street. The woman wears a stylish dress and holds a purse, while the man is in a suit. The caption reads, "My desire to be well-informed is currently at odds with my desire to remain sane.”

Protecting communities and powering renewal: Over 24,000 homes and businesses protected from floods in first year 151 flood schemes delivered in 12 months to boost flood resilience across the nation and better protect more than 24,000 homes and businesses.

Flood defences.

Labour inherited flood defences in the worst condition on record, but through increased funding, 151 flood defence schemes have been delivered in their first year in power.

And across the next decade they have committed £10.5bn for the largest flood defence programme in history.

Bit much to pick on English degrees when they spelled Britain wrong on their leaflets

Ah, it's "too many of other people's children are going to university" week again, is it?

River Wye pollution prompts UK's largest environmental lawsuit Livestock and water companies are accused of “extensive” pollution in the Wye, Lugg and Usk rivers.

4000 people have signed up to sue poultry producers.

Nothing says "the party of ambition" like restricting access to higher education.

The Rees Moggs will still do History degrees. The Johnsons will still do Classics.
Sadly, the Wilsons from South Bank in Middlesbrough won't get the intellectual stimulation of studying a subject of interest for a degree.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.

No, I am not going to allow my platforms to be used for amplifying silly nasty provocations from an opposition politician about my home city - and about sacking judges.

I will not provide the noise he wants to create.
