'Its parent company, the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF), has claimed that carbon dioxide has been “mercilessly demonised” when in fact it is a “benefit to the planet” and should be “two or three times” higher than current levels.'

The Tories are so dead in the water Badenoch can say any old crap because people aren't remotely interested in what she has to say any more. To the point where she's not even making up her own any old crap anymore, she's pinching Farage's material, word for word.

EXC: Kemi Badenoch has denied that a local election slogan to 'lower taxes' meant council tax would actually go down. The Conservative Leader told ITV News Meridian: "Council tax goes up with inflation… We’re not saying people are going to have less [tax] than they paid before."

At yesterday's #PMQs Starmer called out Nick Timothy's comments of "an act of domination" as "utterly appalling" and said #Badenoch that she should denounce his words and "sack him" as shadow justice secretary going on to conclude "the Tory party has got a problem with Muslims".

#Badenoch defended her shadow minister, saying he was "defending British values"

Are Muslims not British people then

“Never waste a good crisis” was a phrase attributed to Churchill.

Well maybe #Starmer should play up this side of Churchill.

With #Farage and #Badenoch looking like lemmings who only at the last second realised ‘oh maybe #Trump’s a childish demented moron and this war is financial and electoral suicide’.

Starmer did make the right call, but him being smug won’t keep the rest of us warm or help Labour electorally.

Now is definitely the time for Starmer to push decarbonisation / eco policies.

I asked AI, if there is anything that #Badenoch, #Farage and #Blair all agree on which is not evil or wrong - the only things it came up with were either evil or wrong or both. I even prompted it if maybe they all like pancake, but the AI was not having it https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/09/so-badenoch-farage-and-blair-think-the-iran-war-is-a-great-idea-hmm
So Badenoch, Farage and Blair think the Iran war is a great idea? Hmm …

Kemi may be all in favour, but at least economic realpolitik is forcing her to take a slightly different tack

"This era of peace has now come to an end"

What kind of monster speaks in such a way!

#Badenoch says her party will vote for #Mahmood's immigration Reform Bill

Because there is no difference between the two parties now

Listening to Kemi #Badenoch ramble on about the UK standing back from Trump's crazy narcissistic world suggests she isn't listening to the UK people. Polls say that 49% oppose #Trump's crazy world! A former NATO senior commander calls Trump & his accolytes 'gung ho nutters' who have 'no idea how this stupidity will end'. Predictably #Farage, a gung ho nutter if I ever saw one, is prepared to follow Trump into a dystopian world of darkness & misery for millions, yet 'loads of money' for the fat cats. It is indeed a nightmare. #RejoinEU #ClimateCrisis #StandwithUkraine

#Badenoch says at #pmqs, "Isn't it the truth that he is prioritising his job security over national security"

[She means not allowing Burnham to run meant Greens were victorious]
