Badenoch is first post-war Leader of Opposition to fall into third place in party polls for any sustained period (most of 18 months, Jan 2025-Sept 2026) Michael Foot did fall into third place but for only a very short period in Spring 1982: Labour often first, then a narrow second

I’m not seeing a Conservative leader who’s looking stronger or more adept at politics. What I am seeing is a rival party (Reform) that’s weighed down by scandal, particularly around dodgy donations & seems to have been largely abandoned by its erstwhile cheerleaders in the right wing press.

Have you actually *seen* the image she’s “cementing”, Laura? Y’know, the mad rants, the cult leader meme stuff that looks like something Natalie Harp printed out to soothe Donald Trump after a particularly stinging narcissistic injury?

“Kemi doth become leader”. Section from a bizarre Bayeux tapestry-inspired piece of Conservative marketing material depicting Kemi Badenoch as an 11th Century leader with a bird of prey in her hand, towering over a tiny, kneeling, sobbing figure, presumably meant to represent Andy Burnham. Although clearly inspired by the Bayeux tapestry the (AI?) illustration style is more reminiscent of a primary school-age picture book.

I’m sure that dogged newshound, Chris Mason, is heading for Tufton Street right now to doorstep those unelected think tankers at the IEA & will be asking Serious Questions on the Six O’Clock News. He’s not going to lose interest when this story turns out to be more than a Burnham gotcha, right?

The thing is, given the new geopolitics of the Baltic (if we were feeling Trumpy about it, we could rename it “Lake NATO”) Kaliningrad is increasingly isolated & logistically unsustainable. NATO attacking it is a paranoid fantasy, when NATO can just sit back & watch Russia pouring resources into

Putin is in a quandary. He wants to attack NATO. But he realizes that if he does, his Kaliningrad is forfeit, his naval fleet is forfeit, his access to the Baltic Sea is forfeit. So he ramps up talk of using nuclear weapons, in hopes this will be enough. Putin is scared.

It’s a bold choice for Kemi to counter Burnham’s no-lectern speech with a weird tribute to herself delivered through the medium of an AI slop version of the Bayeux tapestry but I’m not sure it’s a wise one. I’ll leave it political comms experts & the public to decide if I’m right or wrong.

Embroidering history... Badenough will surely be surprised when she finds out that the official Tory Govt position in 2016 was Remain. And that the Tories spent less on defence as a % of GDP in 2024 than in 2010 (having also massively cut defence personnel over their 14 year reign of error too).
