Kemi Badenoch doesn’t really need to speak in public more than once a month and she’ll do ok. In that respect, keeping her head down is proving very effective.

Sniping from the sidelines and criticising everyone clearly has merit. 🙃

That plumber from Wigan who stood against Andy Burnham, ‘liked’ a Facebook post from someone who made a sexual remark about Carol Vorderman. He was asked about it on Newsnight and Question Time. It was all over the media that he was sexist. It didn’t help his cause during the election.

I said a few weeks ago that banning under sixteens from the internet was fine but It was the over sixteens that should be looked at.

BBC News

No further action against Zack Polanski over guillotine r...

The Green Party leader has said he made an "inadvertent mistake" when he shared the image with his social media followers.

assume everyone agrees this the right call ?

Did anyone think it was an incitement to murder ?

Not ever farridge and jenrick thought it was

But at least its not crypto bungs and bins

He didn’t like a post

He wrote the post

He didn’t write the post and I’d say the leader of one of the main parties sharing a post about one of his main rivals being beheaded is a bit worse than a plumber from Wigan wanting to smell Carols arse. But that’s just just me

for what it's worth, he didn't just "like" it, he replied saying "He's only saying what we're all thinking"

he also

"described Brexit as an economically damaging project promoted by politicians who "peddled the nationalistic pish".

When asked about those comments, Kenyon insisted he had voted for Brexit, and said he had "no recollection of saying that".""

Fair enough. My mistake.

Not that fucked about either case if I’m honest.

They’re probably not bothered with a lot of stuff but they report on it. BBC, Guardian, Sky, telegraph are all reporting on it

Those in Greater Manchester don't forget to go have your say at the polling station today.

I've just watched this Polanski interview on Newsnight. I can't even believe it's made the news 😮

...and this is precisely why we are where we are. Elected officials fair game for assassination it seems - nothing to see here.

A good number of you have gone stark, raving fucking mad. Further into the abyss we go.

Reform voters/fans are generally too thick to realise the double standards on show by Farage. Like with Trump, they just seem to double down on their support. I think it's because they're, generally, fucking gormless fuckwits

We are. Thick, owd racists - remember?

Basic fascism. Commit crimes, then claim 'the elite' are out to get you when you get caught. Morons like Bolty swallow it hook, line and sinker.

Talking of Reform, I heard on the radio that there is something like 34 different candidates for the upcoming by-election in Clacton......34, that's bonkers

Farage will of course win, but it'll be interesting to see him stood next to that collection of odd-balls and attention seekers, and give his speech about how the people of Clacton have chosen him over the establishment

I think if Farage somehow ends up with a lower vote share than the last election that'll be enough of a loss in this scenario.

A monumental waste of everyone's time and money seeing as there will almost certainly be another one before the year is out that will actually be contended.
