Ha ha ha exactly. This can not be a bad thing!

Why does it annoy me so much when KB says Psychodrama?

I think it’s because it’s so clearly her PR mandated word of this press round. She shoehorns it in whenever possible even if it doesn’t flow.

How is Trump the authority on Europe? Blimey. #Davos

Electoral Dysfucntion as they really unpack the nitty gritty.

Bloody hell - Badenoch is staggeringly short of any self-awareness, isn’t she? And she’s spiteful & nasty.

Imagine attacking bringing children out of poverty.

That's the #Tories

Someone probably needs to tell Badenoch she has to reply to the budget that happened and not the one she imagined in her head

GBP vs. $

UK 30yr Gilt yield

FTSE 350

Badenoch's attempt at a rebuttal is being substantially undermined by all UK assets moving up on the day. the reality is they were cheap vs. peers and there hasn't been a disaster vs. very low expectations:

BadEnoch really is a dick of note. Who stands at the dispatch box and mimics the chancellor’s voice?

These angry jeering rich white men are giving me the ick #Budget2025

If quite like to hear the budget. The jeering is outrageous. #budget2025

Jess Phillips record on this issue is a lot better than Kemi Badenoch's she was the Women and Equalities in the previous Conservative Government that ignored the result of the previous inquiry and didn't implement any of its recommendations #pmqs #politicslive #5live

She definitely is. He’s not taking the bait.

It’s just VILE

I don’t believe it’s genuine sensitivity.

As in - I’m not shocked by Labours decline - just moreso that the Conservatives haven’t fallen of the bottom of the chart.

Undoubtedly. It’s not Labours decline that’s the shocker. It’s the Conservatives having ANY bouancy that I don’t get.

But MORE than the Conservatives?

Reform pledged to cut costs and taxes in local government with a 'Doge'-style approach, but instead their council taxes are rising

Yeah - I just don’t believe this. And the bit I don’t believe specifically is the Conservatives polling higher than Labour.

Is it mad that I don’t think the Labour Party is a shambles? I think it’s operating under extreme challenges. I think it can’t please everyone. I think at times it’ll have to u-turn. I think it feels more stable BY FAR than the decade. It’s more transparent, less sleazy & making progress. #firstyear

I just wonder if anyone actually believes that Rachel Reeves is a hateful person?

I just see someone with an actual impossible job. Trying to manage public services that are so so so broken.

I tell you who does seem genuinely hateful…

The spectacle of Badenoch taunting the obviously distressed Rachel Reeves today on #PMQs makes me sick to my stomach. What an unremittingly horrible person.

I like Rachel Reeves.

She’s trying to balance books that are totally f*cked.

She’s trying to be realistic rather than selling a dream.

She’s having to battle against a global shit show.

What would or could anyone have done differently. Smoke & mirrors like the prev govt?

God Kemi Badenoch is so hateful.

Unbearable

“Now she describes their broken system that we are trying to fix.”

Labour might be in a mess here - but it’s one born out of the conservative legacy.

Just bloody vile.

I just came on here to say the same thing. I would not want her job!

Do you think Kemi B has post it notes all round her house with soundbite quotes on them so she can pluck them when needed?

Just heard another one on the radio - “driven by principle not panic” it’s like bad sales copy - not serious debate. #welfarebill

Does Jenrick realise that the issues with the current justice system ref capacity are wholly the fault of his party over the last 14 years.

It’s just mad that he’s so indignant.
Unbelievable decisions are having to be made now because the entire system was run into the ground. #SentencingReview
