Badenoch seems to have written her speech in the belief that her party has just won a massive majority after 14 years of Labour Government.

One of the acutely minor consequences of 1,200 people, mostly Israelis, mostly Jews, being murdered by Hamas on 7 October 2023 was finding out just who celebrated, equivocated, or who didn’t say anything at all but magically regained their ability to comment on this brutal conflict a few weeks later

Today marks three years since the terrorist attacks of 7 October in Israel. We honour the victims and stand with the families who still carry the heavy weight of grief. We remember the young lives cut short at a music festival. And the long ordeal of the hostages.

Camilla's gushing tribute to Jeffrey Archer is very ill judged. Archer had more than flaws, he destroyed a vulnerable woman's life without hesitation.

There is v warm coverage of the late Jeffrey Archer on Radio 4 Today focusing on book sales & chsrity with fraud, perjury & disgrace mainly as something to bounce back from. He probably got more second, thitd & fourth chances that anybody else in British public life in the last half century.

12 arrests at last night's "peaceful protest" by pissed and coked-up dinlos in Gosport. Local politicians need to stop making excuses for this thuggery, and those, like Madgwick, who actually instigated and incited it, should receive the bill for policing it.

A valiant effort by Owen in downplaying a second leftwing project he joined having been taken over by crankism Of course, he's correct: the original Zionism did create a homeland at the expense of Palestinians. But the other basic point he's missing is that homeland exists and has done for 80 years

Owen Jones
@Owenjonesjourno

There is nothing racist about any ethnic or religious group wanting their own homeland. The problem is if this desire is at the expense of another people.
Zionism in practise meant "a homeland at the expense of Palestinians".

Something I repeatedly find with far left politicians is that they seem to think that if they say the magic words "antisemitism has no place in our society" this frees them from doing anything tangible about the antisemitism right in front of their sanctimonious fucking faces.

Welcome to Toryland, where victory is inevitable. My SKETCH. thecritic.co.uk/welc...

The Tory leader has opened her party’s conference with so many sketchable interventions that it might be a deliberate bid simply to overwhelm satirists. There’s the 30,000-word tract on her beliefs whose 16 pages on the economy contain no mention of trade and a single allusion to Brexit — “I call it Kemistry,” she told the Sunday Times. There’s the 87-foot “Birmingham Tapestry”, which celebrates Badenoch’s endless triumphs of the past two years. There’s the amazing levels of confidence: in her opening address on Sunday, Badenoch confidently predicted election victory with David Steel-like brio.

Was any of this a touch previous? Well, in a party that was performing less well it might be, but these are the Conservatives, the party currently enjoying a 19% lead in the polls, predicted to win a majority of 130 at the next election. It’s no wonder that… hang on, I’m hearing that, apologies, those numbers should be “currently polling at 19% and predicted to win 130 seats.”

I think you can hold the position that nationalism is inherently racist but if your policy is Jewish Nationalism is racist but Arab Nationalism isn’t then your policy is racist.

I lost friends over antisemitism in Labour. I tried to argue that the fact that people on the right were trying to use antisemitism as a weapon against Labour (and they were, in bad faith) did not mean that antisemitism did not exist in Labour (it did). This argument still echoes.

I sometimes think Suella's real definition of Englishness is... White, English-speaking people with English-sounding names, and that she and other headbangers are just trying to put some kind of rules & genetic science around it. But it doesn't work. And it remains blatant racism.

Was about to employ an old-fashioned term as a joke but I felt sure it now has an alternative meaning and... bloody hell!

The term "rum cove" has a couple of meanings:

- It was historically used to describe someone who is odd or untrustworthy, often implying a bit of a rogue or cheat.

- In modern usage, particularly on the web, it has become a code phrase for incitement to kill, often used by people on the militant right regarding far-leftists.

Polanski’s “tax the rich” is the same as Badenoch’s “cut benefits”, a one-size-fits-all funding source that appeals to their prejudice but would never generate anything like the money they claim, and prevents them ever having to engage with serious politics

Quick look at the Twitter timeline which is mainly either racists saying that it’s obvious the RAF terror suspects are THE MUZZIES who came across via dinghy yesterday, or a different type of racists who say this is a Mossad false flag.
