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

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

Reform pledged to cut costs and taxes in local government with a 'Doge'-style approach, but instead their council taxes are rising ➡# Read more: trib.al/4eTKWIn

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.

“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.

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

Referring to EU as “our European competitors” is exactly the issue. Kemi & her panel are hateful. They’re huffing in the face of diplomacy, negotiation and progress - rather than paralysis which is what we were in with the last govt.

On the trade deal with India - the second hand embarrassment I feel for Kemi B & Shadow Trade Sec rolling out old ‘soundbites’ in response is very real. Showing that EVERY SINGLE comment in the press from them is simply a swipey, flimsy playbook response. BE BETTER. That is NOT opposition.

Nice going Runcorn. In an electoral system with a representative MP, you have just chosen an MP who won’t represent and who will finger point instead of finding solutions. I trust that you will become a lesson to the rest of the country.

The Trump administration plans to eliminate the research arm of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, close all weather and climate labs and eviscerate its budget along with several other NOAA offices, according to internal documents obtained by CNN.

If you’re unsure why this is so horrifying - watch Harriet (currently on Netflix). Incredible woman making a huge difference in the most harrowing, inhumane times.

The U.S. National Park Service restored its original webpage on the history of the Underground Railroad after it was met with backlash for deleting a prominently featured photo of abolitionist and women’s suffragist Harriet Tubman, as well as segments of text describing the horrors of slavery.

I asked a Conservative MP about Badenoch's performances at #PMQs Is she even trying, I asked? Very, they replied...

Would love to know where this "Starmer doesn't do his homework" vibe from Badenoch comes from. Lots of possible ways to get at the PM, but the idea he's slap dash with research is jus... weird? #PMQs

Worst performance yet for #KemiBadenoch at #PMQs today. Its like she's going out of her way to be that bad.

Ed Davey asking the type of strategic questions you would expect from the LOTO and with a level of gravitas that is so elusive to Kemi Badenoch #PoliticsLive #PMQs

Ed Davey brilliant as usual. He is the leader of the opposition that the country deserves. Grown up interrogation. Serious, meaningful questions & not just regurgitated right wing headlines. #PMQs

The guys sat behind KB are masking hard so as not to show embarrassment. Must be so hard to hold the cringe in. #PMQs

Wonder what KB’s repeated catchphrase will be today? Last week: When Labour negotiate we lose Week before: You’re a lawyer not a leader So embarrasing. #PMQs

Abhorrent

Ed Davey is incredible - that is how you challenge the leader. KB is just deplorable - shitty swipey, baseless soundbites do not make a debate #PMQs

This is not meaningful opposition by the way. It’s so embarrasing #PMQs

My god, this #PMQ is awful. I own a small business & actually what’s far more damaging to my business is what we’re recovering from after the sh*t show of the last few years.

Red weather warning. Danger to life. Chuck a weather reporter out in it 🙄

That £15k website you built three years ago? Without regular updates and fresh content, it's losing value by the day. It's like buying a BMW and never servicing it - technically still running, but definitely not performing as it should. 👇🏻

Yeah, no way. I have never once, in all my life "accidentally" made the Nazi salute. Because I was raised not to do it.

50% lofty claims, 10% nostalgia, 40% straight up hate speech. How terrifying #Inauguration

Sweet Jesus. “As of today TikTok is back” This is so engineered I feel sick.

As predicted, Trump and TikTok agreed in advance to have a brief outage after which Trump would say a few magic words and TikTok would come back in line cheering Trump despite being in the identical legal position. I

Went to Ukraine this weekend. Exclusive interview with PM on which he all bit confirms UK will play a role in European peacekeeping force should this be an outcome of negotiations to be led by Trump news.sky.com/story/uk-wil...

My view on quick win lead gen promises: There aren’t any quick wins to give you sustainable growth. Strong foundations (strategy), a clear message, consistent & confident showing up for your prospects (and existing customers) and clear proof of why you’re the best!

Annnnd there it is. There’s the scam. Just FYI, we won’t use TikTok if Trump, Musk, Bezos, or Zuck have anything to do with its ownership. Hope that helps 👍

Great to meet Hampshire & IOW Wildlife Trust to discuss protecting biodiversity in Basingstoke. We discussed everything from Biodiversity Net Gain in new developments, to reintroducing beavers to restore rivers and wetlands, as well as supporting local nature reserves.
