Have the tories put Badenock back in her cupboard?

As fellow Lancastrian said to me recently ‘talking to strangers is a form of Tourette’s for us northerners’

Upon retirement you complete loose that bonus feeling on a Friday of ‘tomorrow’s Saturday’. ( it’s a small price to pay)

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her. RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.

Britons back staying in ECHR by 46% to 29%, poll suggests - www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

One of the only Tories I ever admired: ‘Tarzan’ Heseltine 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

How did Badenock’s closing speech go.

youtu.be/bcDZSsRt5G4 @marjmar.bsky.social Always worth a watch.

Having seen butch Cassidy and the sundance kid recently I imaging Badenoch awaiting to going on stage saying ‘for a moment there I thought we were in trouble’

Tories keep saying we’ve made mistakes in the past’ but nobody follows it up with ‘what were those mistakes’. It would be interesting to know what they consider were their mistakes. Brexit? Rwanda?

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

This is a lie. There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years. But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Bike ride today in that fine constant rain/ misle on a manual steed. Ventile jacket held up well. Hilltrek

Badenough smashing it again in the eight ten today slot. ‘The pub was rammed with young conservatives last night’. Yuk

Party conferences ain’t what they used to be. For a start they finish on Wednesday.

A bit late to the show. 3.142 apologies.

Since 1980, the ECHR has heard just 29 UK immigrant deportation case, and the UK won 16 of them. Quitting will make no material difference to immigration, just weaken protections for absolutely everybody in this country. But Farage and the Tories know that.

I think I’ve twigged it. Kemi Badenock is a reform sleeper- the enemy within- intent on destroying the Tory party. She’s doing quite well.

Giving £5k to new employees to buy a house will push up house prices and be paid for by pushing more children into poverty.

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian. Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference. Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say? Let's keep growing: join.greenparty.org.uk

Reform UK’s Skelton East, Redcar and Cleveland by-election candidate Craig Holmes, trousers down like a toddler doing a pee pee on someone’s property. He’s standing for election next Thursday.

Wine rack next to a fire. Not a good combo imho.

Whatever happened to homebrewing shops?They were a thing thirty years ago. Wilko’s sold such stuff too.

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/32668353... Surely someone needs a woolly jumper what with winter approaching. There’s plenty if you need more.

Badenoch is toast.

Wish me luck.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptfm... This is probably worth an airing today.

Katharine Birbalsingh on r4 today really came across as an odious piece of work. Unhappy that an elected government implements manifesto pledges with a massive majority because she (Birbalsingh ) knows best. Regulation trousers ffs.

So Manchester police go from hero to zero.

Will the Next god be a woman?

Mone denies any wrong doing. Well she would say that, wouldn’t she?

Alas the grandkids show no interest whatsoever. Explaining the game of conkers to them reminds me of the Bob Newhart tobacco sketch.

Will Kemi Badenock attend the Tory party conference? Where’s Kemi?

Aldi have 100% Marino wool ‘base layers’ at 20 quid.

Where is Kemi Badenock?

#Bikes!

So in order to support the jaguar Land Rover supply chain the government are giving 1.5 billion loan to JLR. What could possibly go wrong? Remember PPE contract fraud.

So have I got this right, the plan is for the USA and Israel to impose a warmongering ex British prime minister to run Gaza? Sweet!

It’s not going well for United.

Mason doesn’t like Andy Burnham does he ?

Government stockpiling jlr parts is a ridiculous plan.

Jaguar Land Rover are also dependent on their suppliers to keep production going so they should support them . They have a duty to do so.

Burnham as labour leader is a dead cat story.

JLR should support their suppliers not the taxpayers.

Today . Dial a poem. John Cooper fucking Clarke.

She’ll be no doubt be being lobbied by the gambling industry!!!!!

Emma. Labour have been in power for a year now —after 14 years of Tory austerity.

I suppose if you put your eggs in the jaguar Land Rover basket then you are vulnerable. But that’s a risk they take.
