Reform UK’s Councillor Thomas Murray is Mayor of Scarborough and Chair of Scarborough Town Council. This is the sort of stuff he’s posting on social.

It is simply not true. The Shadow Home Office minister will have many constituents who work in Luton and will not recognise his warped description. He should get off social media and meet our many fantastic Lutonians.

It is deeply irresponsible for any politician, let alone a senior Conservative, to peddle the same far-right nonsense about Luton that we see from the likes of Yaxley Lennon and Reform.

Andrew Griffith delivers one of the all time rhetorical stinkers. My Tory conference SKETCH. thecritic.co.uk/an-h...
On reflection, it would have been better for Andrew Griffith if he’d abandoned his speech when the announcer got his name wrong. He is the Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, supposedly the second most important figure in the Conservative Party. If they don’t even know what he’s called, he should take the hint.

It was an oration that party managers will describe as a cautionary tale to generations of MPs yet unborn

He didn’t, of course. Perhaps he thought that after such a slip, things could only get better. If so, it was a judgement in which he was profoundly mistaken. He was about to give one of the all-time terrible party conference speeches. It was an oration that party managers will describe as a cautionary tale to generations of MPs yet unborn. Some speeches are written terribly. Some are delivered terribly. This one was so terrible in every way that it should be sealed in lead and buried at the bottom of the ocean.

Kemi Badenoch: not for turning, on anything, ever. thecritic.co.uk/welc...
“There is nothing that has happened that has made me change my mind,” Badenoch told Laura Kuenssberg on Sunday morning. It was the all-purpose Kemi answer, along with another one she gave later on: “I fundamentally disagree with David Gauke’s approach.”

The Conservative leader was explaining that when she sweeps to power, she’ll make sure that “people who work harder don’t get punished for doing so.” Badenoch’s belief that people currently get punished for hard work explains a lot about her approach to her job. Kuenssberg spent some time pressing her for the number of people who would be affected by the welfare cuts that Badenoch argues are going to pay for everything. “And that’s a number that I’m sure that we can send to you,” the Tory leader replied, unembarrassed. Could Badenoch’s office in fact send over that number? See if you can guess.

A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."
It does raise this point of two-tiered
justice..


Reform's Sarah Pochin believes the
sentence handed to the 64-year-old who
blew up a ULEZ camera was
disproportionate'.

“Annihilating Iran”—which can only mean the widespread use of thermonuclear weapons against Iran’s nearly 100 million citizens—is, I’m afraid, the Chekov’s gun of Trump’s second term. He has spoken too often and too explicitly about unleashing such wanton destruction for it to be an idle threat.
