Kemi Badenoch’s whole shtick is slash and burn, which is red meat for the Westminster-brained, but for the wider electorate… what actually is her vision for what emerges from the ashes? What sort of country does she want us to become? Seemingly just one that’s punitive, uncaring and nasty?

I want to strengthen my last statement—this *is* an election-rigging scheme. And the fact that there was a conspiracy in the executive branch to hide it makes it likely this constitutes a Criminal Conspiracy to Commit Election Fraud headed by Donald Trump.

With only weeks to go before the mid terms we're going to have to start spreading the word. Double check your voter enrollment, constantly. Particularly if your in a swing state. Issues The president is a pedophile The president is a rapist The president paid off a hooker with campaign funds

Mamma bison and calf.

Trump cheated on wife #1 with wife #2
He then cheated on wife #2 with wife #3
He cheated on wife #3 with a hooker while wife #3 was pregnant and he then paid off that hooker illegally with campaign funds. And his lawyer went to jail for it.

Trump is a cheat and a fellon

“It seems unlikely not to have occurred to [Farage] that the reason he is so popular… is that so many people have had enough not just of people like Zahawi, but in this case, people who literally are Zahawi” Here’s to hoping their piss-taking opportunism does for them both. (Times sketch)

Extract:

Farage's one-man band adds a disgraced banjo
Tom Peck
Political Sketch

the sketch writers keep saying we're a one-man band,"
" said Nigel Farage,
48 hours after some idiot sketch writer in The
Times had called Reform UK a one-man band. The sketch writers clearly needed to be taught a lesson but what happened next was surely overkill, when out on to the stage and back into the political big time strode Nadhim Zahawi.
How would we describe Reform
UK now? What part of the one-man band is the party's newest defector? Is there even such a thing as a
discredited mouth organ? A disgraced banjo? There was no time to think about that. First there was a pre-roll video of Zahawi, a stirring montage biography of the kind you used to see on the X Factor judges' houses episode, immediately before a painter and decorator from Croydon murders a Michael Buble cover next to Simon Cowell's swimming pool.

"l've gone from councillor to chancellor of the exchequer," Zahawi said, looking beyond the camera and into the middle distance, where a brighter future may theoretically lie.
Zahawi is extremely proud of his time as chancellor of the exchequer, which lasted exactly two months and was mainly spent paying his own tax bills to HMRC. "Westminster watchers",
, as
Zahawi called us, may recall the very first thing he did as chancellor, which was to get hold of a piece of HM Treasury notepaper and use it to write a letter to Boris Johnson, who had appointed him fully 48 hours before, to tell him to resign.
"Britain is drinking in the last chance saloon," said Zahawi, over soft string music, "and it really does need Nigel Farage as prime minister."

In the questions at the end, someone had the temerity to bring up a social media post, written by Zahawi in 2015, in which he had said of his new best mate: "I would be frightened to live in a country run by you." Zahawi let out a little smile. "If I thought this man next to me had an issue, in any way, with people from my background, I wouldn't be sitting next to him," he said, and then he reached over and placed a loving hand on Nigel's elbow. Smiles can say a lot. This one specifically seemed to be saying, "Come on, guys, if you actually believe a word I say, we're not going to get very far, are we?" Which was just as well, because no one does.
As the press conference wore on,
Farage did not seem his usual ebullient self. Smiles were forced.
Brows were creased. Farage is as canny as they come. It seems unlikely not to have occurred to him that the reason he is so popular, the one reason that towers above all others, is that so many people have had enough not just of people like Zahawi, but in this case, people who literally are Zahawi.
Zahawi seemed to think people would be "shocked" to see him defecting to Reform. People were shocked, but not quite for the reasons he thinks. That Zahawi decided to ask Farage out is no surprise at all. What is more surprising is that Farage said yes. The Tory stampede to Reform is now very much in full swing. At some point, Farage will surely have to say no to someone. He must have a limit.
It's a remarkable thing to say, but at the moment Farage can't seem to find the bar.
