Yes, I'm sure they meant the final speech of the 2025 conference.

Is C4 suggesting that Kemi Badenoch has delivered her final conference speech as Tory leader already? I mean, she could've promised everybody in the UK a free house, or anything else — she's not going to get in next election. But how long will she last, & what other horrors might follow? (Jenerick)?

Gaza flotilla members allege beatings and insults in Israeli detention

Been playing this in my DJ sets since hearing it in a taxi in May, in amongst all the cool underground house tunes etc - not even a guilty pleasure, more like a secret weapon. Banger.

How huge London far-right march lifted the lid on a toxic transatlantic soup Tommy Robinson’s ‘free speech’ protest attracted more than 100,000 people – and it was easy to find links to key political figures and events in the US
