Of the four women in the image, only one is entirely visible. Two completely eliminated.

Well I judge Badenoch by the content of her character and from what I’ve seen she’s a rude, ill-informed, gaffe-ridden, ladder-pulling grifter who thinks that rules, and indeed laws, don’t apply to her.

I am sure journalists can’t wait to pressure Badenoch into explaining exactly how she intends to fund this.

BBC accused of 'extraordinary' anti-Green bias after party say the Laura Kuenssberg Show scrapped a promised interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Sunday.

Green sources say the show also refused to interview Polanski after he was elected as leader last month

Flags went up in Stirchley a few days ago & were taken down by local residents the same evening.

The men returned with a cherry picker and coned off parts of the road with police accompanying them as they put up new flags along the High Street.

Residents who object have been met with verbal abuse.

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

β€œI do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

Rachel wearing very flimsy looking apron, mask and visor in NHS setting

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals.

Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt Β£122m - dares to claim she’s been β€˜scapegoated’.

What, Michelle? 🧡

I was given masks whose ear loops fell off & aprons so flimsy they ripped apart when you tried to put them on, Michelle.

Nurses and porters in our hospital died from the Covid they caught there, Michelle.

How dare you try to bleat victimisation now, Michelle?
