No wonder Badenoch and Farage are shitting bricks at the suggestion that Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum. Their whole business model relies on Brexit and the racist anti- immigration bomb that it detonated. Their next bright idea - to leave the ECHR - would delight Putin too.
Gazette
ECHR withdrawal 'gift to Putin'
By Jonathan Rayner | 22 March 2012

Britain’s withdrawal from the European Convention on Human Rights in favour of a British bill of rights would be Vladimir Putin's
'best present ever', an East European delegate at a Council of Europe event for lawyers told the Gazette last weekend.

The source, who asked not be named, said that Putin, just re-elected as president of Russia, has always said that the Strasbourg court's policing of human rights was ‘meaningless'.
Another unnamed source, a former north European government lawyer, described the UK government's attitude to the Strasbourg court as 'Britain shooting itself in the foot. If the British don't engage with Europe, they'll lose influence and shouldn't be surprised if
Germany and France fill the vacuum?

Finally It was a joy to hear from James Stupidly, MP for Braindead, Essex; Burnham recognised dim Jim's question for what it was - an audition for his campaign to become the Mayor of London.

Harriet Baldwin tried the same sleight of mouth by trying to imply that every Green Party member is an antisemite. This is as ridiculous as Farage saying that every asylum seeker is a rapist. Burnham gave the only answer possible which was to condemn antisemitism without conceding Baldwin's point.

The fascist Farage sought to equate every migrant, asylum seeker and refugee with the 7 arrests of Iranian agents by MI5/the police. This was another racist and islamophobic rant from the man who has promised us a US style ICE to enforce

Andy Burge 🇬🇧🇪🇺 @andygjburge.bsky.social · 16h
Ed Davey, whose leadership is under fire from some of his own MPs, chose first to ask about social care - a very safe subject - but also chose to imply that Burnham is kicking the can down the road. Burnham's answer was fiery in his condemnation of successive gov'ts' records.

Badenoch then used what I'm sure was a fictitious story about an employer using their personal pension to pay their employees. Sorry Kemi, if that were true, that business would not be solvent & so would be trading illegally. Badenoch will have pleased only the Supply Side Reformers in her party.

Andy Burge 🇬🇧🇪🇺 @andygjburge.bsky.social · 16h
On defence, Burnham ripped Badenoch to shreds about her 'iron dome', something she doesn't actually understand. He reminded her that she'd said to Nick Ferrari that to understand it, he should speak to a defence expert - which clearly was not her.

She fantasised that she was PM for a moment by telling the actual PM what should be in the budget - this from a member of the previous administration which literally wrecked the UK economy.

Consequently she was seen working the barrel bottom with a scraper. Spewing disinformation about comments by the head of MI5, by ignoring the fact that gas is sold in a wholesale market and ranting about 'British gas for British people' and repeating nonsense about the Tories' pet hate; Welfare

In the first #PMQs after conference season, Badenoch showed she is still deluded; she still refuses to learn from the rout of 2024 (under her, Tory policies are the same but more extreme) but also she believes the 👏 she got from a few hundred mostly white Tory attendees was the 'voice of the people.
