Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch’s slapstick gaffe parade continues today. She countered criticism of her Reform-copy plan to take the UK out of the European Court of Human Rights by pointing out the US, Australia and NZ aren’t members of the ECHR.

The *European* Court of Human Rights.

New police powers to protect communities from disruption caused by protests Police forces will be authorised to consider the ‘cumulative impact’ of protests, assessing previous activity when deciding to impose limits on protesters.

Huge game!

Come on Ipswich. We can't have that lot getting any points today!

Tbilisi, 🇬🇪 — thousands have taken to the streets right now and are marching toward the presidential palace.

The Tories are finished but nobody will be cheering this policy from any decent Political party.

Kemi Badenoch will never be Prime Minister but what this shows is the Tories are moving to the far-right to compete with Reform, but will fail miserably.

"Our credible plan is also an acrostic."

(This is, genuinely, the actual Conservative press release.)

Batshit.

Meanwhile, if you see a clip of me saying the ID card contract has gone to Tony Blair’s son: it hasn’t. That was something I was given to ask about on HIGNFY last night, but turns out to be a false report from the internet. Which is bad news for the fact checkers but good news for social mobility.

‘Nine-jobs Nigel’ Farage denies not declaring extra earni... Roles outside Parliament make Reform leader the highest-earning MP, but register of interests has not been updated since end of May

Nine jobs Nigel Farage hasn't updated his ­register of interests in months.

Potentially hundreds of thousands of ££££ from his many "outside interests" remain undeclared

Suspect they’re going to have to do a bigger and probably more grovelling apology than that before this is done (but better to get a quick placeholder out than to do nothing ofc)

Question is, if there was no evidence for it (which is the case), then someone put it in the show's script knowing that it was untrue.

Top London Tory defects to Reform and 'charismatic' Nigel Farage in blow to Kemi Badenoch on eve of party conference — The Standard London Assembly member Keith Prince says Reform ‘has a vision’ - while the Conservative party ‘is not the party I joined 49 years ago’

Another Tory defects to Reform, on the eve of the Conservative Party conference. This time it’s London Assembly member Keith Prince. He comes from Havering which is prime Reform territory. The Tories look likely to lose their entire east London heartland right out into Essex.

Well under Kemi Badenoch's leadership, you'd need more bed posts than a 5 star hotel as that many are leaving.

There will be no referendum on leaving the ECHR. That means far fewer than 50% of the vote is required for it to happen. The only way to stop it is to vote against the right at the next general election.

Definitely recommend reporting to OFCOM.

This sort of story influences people's decisions when it comes to Government policy.

Completely unacceptable .

I have a feeling BBC might be getting sued.

If even Have I Got News For You is trumpeting this nonsense, there is no saving the BBC under Tim Davie.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs sentenced to more than four years in prison on prostitution-related charges Federal prosecutors had pushed for a jail term of 11 years and three months of a possible 20 after music moguls conviction * Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs sentencing – live updates A New York federal judge has sentenced Sean “Diddy” Combs to four years and two months in prison following his conviction this summer on federal prostitution-related charges. The sentencing on Friday in Manhattan came after a federal jury in July acquitted the 55-year-old music mogul of the most serious charges against him – racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking – but found him guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Each count carried a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. Continue reading...

Promising steps it seems, but we have been here before.

The hostages should have been released a long time ago (obviously shouldn't have been taken in the first place).

And Hamas can have no role in governing Gaza.

BREAKING: Greater Manchester Police say for the first time that they believe the Manchester synagogue terrorist Jihad Al-Shamie was influenced by “extreme Islamist ideology”.

The fact Zack Polanski’s speech was reportedly just 20 minutes and contained hardly anything about the environment long tells you a lot: underneath the slogans there is close to nothing at all. The guy is on an ego trip and it’s all about his fame and not their core values. Going to end badly.

Analysis: Growth in British renewables cutting electricity prices by… Gas power now only setting the price of electricity around 85% of the time.

Ignore Reform and now the Tories.

They are anti-environment, anti-net zero and anti lower energy bills for working people.

The approach toward achieving net-zero and renewables is working.
