Kemi Badenoch’s time is up!

[krtek a houby]

TBF Love Actually is a hideous piece of shit and Starmer should be attacked, physically and viscously, for his taste in movies (as well as everything else).

Ugh, he identifies with the Hugh Grant character. Fucking knew it. Hopefully if he tries to mess with PotUS, there will be a different outcome.

 

[charlie mowbray]

Viscously? That sounds a bit sticky.

Love Viscously

 

[charlie mowbray]

Take that Badenoch:From Charles DickensThe Uncommercial Traveller: Between the pieces, we almost all of us went out and refreshed. Many of us went the length of drinking beer at the bar of the neighbouring public-house, some of us drank spirits, crowds of us had sandwiches and ginger-beer at the refreshment-bars established for us in the Theatre. The sandwich--as substantial as was consistent with portability, and as cheap as possible--we hailed as one of our greatest institutions. It forced its way among us at all stages of the entertainment, and we were always delighted to see it; its adaptability to the varying moods of our nature was surprising; we could never weep so comfortably as when our tears fell on our sandwich; we could never laugh so heartily as when we choked with sandwich; Virtue never looked so beautiful or Vice so deformed as when we paused, sandwich in hand, to consider what would come of that resolution of Wickedness in boots, to sever Innocence in flowered chintz from Honest Industry in striped stockings. When the curtain fell for the night, we still fell back upon sandwich, to help us through the rain and mire, and home to bed.

More like Try (too) hard.

Die Hard is definitely a good name for a Tory policy, obviously applied to the least well off in society.

Only politician I remember coming out as a Love Actually fan was Boris...

Even elements within her own organisation's daily fanzine are already losing patience with someone who, to date, is proving to be a living embarrassment:

Concluding


I would provide a link but I'm sure people can find this for themselves.

Whenever I am unfortunate enough to be exposed to Spiked, I feel it always reads a bit like the Daily Mash: cartoon right-wing venom, for a joke, or a sort of Daily Mail for pseuds.

 

[brogdale]

On day 55 of her "leadership"...an unsurprising source, but it can't be long before we hear the first call for her to step aside?

Unable to out-Farage Farage.​

 

[Humberto]

Tories are now basically a threat to national security. But no matter how many times they are caught at it, people still support them.

Everything is run down in this country because of this political party.

There's nothing 'conservative' about them. Unless that means become a thieving murdering autobot.

 

[PR1Berske]

Number crunching (and the most basic of it) shows that Farage out-numbers most guests on Question Time by a factor of plenty, I don't see how we should act now Kemi has suddenly clocked on.

Also posted on the refUKer thread:

Meanwhile...on "X" it seems that the proprietor has waded into the Badenoch/Farage spat over the refUKers' membership 'ticker' and put a community warning on Badenoch's post telling readers her "claim is false". No link, obvs.

What she is complaining about is not coverage on the BBC's Question Time, but rather about coverage on a Far Right television station with 70,430 live viewers.

According to the publication that deemed this to be front page news:

"Sources told [the publication concerned] that the broadcaster’s chief executive Angelos Frangopoulos was called in to Westminster before Christmas for a chat with Mrs Badenoch – but during the meeting she made it clear GB News should not be ‘a haven for my critics’.

Mr Farage has a primetime show on the Right-wing channel, which also airs other programmes fronted by Reform figures, including chief whip Lee Anderson and former Tory MP Andrea Jenkyns – as well as Mrs Badenoch’s Tory colleague and former leadership rival Robert Jenrick."

In a battle over "70,430 live viewers"?​

In a battle over "70,430 live viewers"?​

That's just live viewers at any given time, more importantly they reached over 3.5m viewers during the month of Nov. 2024.

According to those figures, they would be around the same levels as CBBC.

This may help to explain why Doctor Who was also another of her political priorities.

Pretty sure he alone outnumbers all left wing journalists and commentators on QT put together.

Don't be silly, he only appeared 37 times in 24 years, he does stand out more simply because the main parties put forward many different people to appear on QT, whereas he was the main one, by a country mile, for UKIP and Brexit/Reform parties.

If there were an appearance/vote share metric, he would stand out quite remarkably and not just for being the standout colossal cunt.

Guardian running this leak about Badenoch, when "Business Secretary", acting as a de facto lobbyist on behalf of tax dodging scumbag Dyson. It is a exemplar of what happens daily when the parties are mere political wings of financialised capital. Most depressing aspect of seeing it laid bare is that it is probable that Reynolds, the current "Business Secretary" would do exactly the same.

Kemi Badenoch instructed her department to write to the Treasury about a potential tax break after an intervention from Dyson, documents have revealed.

In the minutes of a meeting during her time as business secretary last June, seen by the Guardian, it said Ian Robertson, a board member at the vacuum cleaner and air-filter maker, lobbied Badenoch on the patent box tax benefit that had “worked very successfully but now that corporation tax has risen but the patent box has not losing [sic] its effectiveness”.


James Dyson himself was present at the meeting, where he personally asked Badenoch to address rises in corporation tax. According to the note from the meeting, released under the Freedom of Information Act, Badenoch promised to look at the concerns and the department followed up with a note to the Treasury.

Badenoch will be spitting tacks over this re-post/endorsement of Generic's racist shit-stirring in the Telegraph...

Robert, your OWN FUCKING PARTY turned down an enquiry. WHY DO YOU CARE ABOUT IT NOW. You had a chance to open an enquiry and you refused.

I went on Mumsnet earlier and of course there's people supporting Musk over this because they're too fucking stupid to realise he doesn't actually care about women, this is the guy who helped put a rapist in the White House and is very open about how he sees white women as breeding stock. But he hates trans people, so he's one of the good guys. Musk never gave a shit about girls being abused before, but now all of a sudden he's going after Jess Phillips and calling for an enquiry?

TBF, there was a good reason for that, because May had already set-up national overarching inquiry into child abuse, and that was published in Oct. 2022, however its findings were ignored by the Tory government.

The IICSA produced a number of reports. The relevant one was this one published in February 2022
Child sexual exploitation by organised networks Investigation Report - IICSA Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse

It went through the difficulties identifying the nature and scale of CSA by organised groups and made some preliminary recommendations which, needless to say, were largely ignored.

But of course this isn't the Inquiry which the racists that Jenrick is pandering to want.

Here's an archived version of his article
The truth about ‘grooming gangs’ is finally coming out - Telegraph (archived)

Hillsborough, Windrush, Grenfell: all appalling national scandals that are listed whenever gross institutional failures are discussed. But there is another that is usually conspicuously absent: the deep moral stain of “grooming gangs”. It is perhaps the greatest racially motivated crime in modern Britain, perpetrated predominantly by men of Pakistani heritage against vulnerable white girls.

What is wanted is an Inquiry which clearly distinguishes between the actions of "our" rapists, exploiters and paedophiles (which, after all, might just be "bad sexual etiquette" as George Galloway put it), and the actions of "immigrant, alien" rapists, exploiters and paedophiles.

Are they actually "stupid" or maybe misguided by irrational fear? Does the site encourage such fear?

 

[Lotte]

Both. I used to post on there and there are some genuinely dim people on there. And the Feminism and Women's Rights lot constantly act like a trans person is lurking around every corner plotting to rape them. They feed on each other's fear and prejudices.
