Peter Smith @redpeter99.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Badenoch is beginning to believe her own hype. She's high on her own fumes. There is zero chance of an Xmas election and if one was held, the Tories wouldn't win. 16644

Peter Smith @redpeter99.bsky.social · 01/10/2026A lesson in making votes count. Clarke was removed as an MP by a small number of Middlesbrough S and E Cleveland voters in 2024. Clarke would have been a more effective leader than Badenoch. 860
Peter Smith @redpeter99.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Unlike Simon Clarke, I was alive during the 1970s. A combination of low inequality, low crime and aspects of culture made 1976 one of the happiest years on record in the UK. The IMF bailout had zero impact. Lesson for Simon, happiness is not just a function of wealth. 78509117
