This televised execution thing is really horrifying. And probably the best we can hope for is for no one to watch and make it a total ratings failure. Trump is doing murder porn for attention, and he should not succeed at that. If people watch, he'll do it again.

Breaking: The Trump administration has imposed new sanctions on the International Criminal Court, the latest effort to try to cripple it. The Nobel Peace Prize was just awarded to a former ICC judge. Many US allies are among the 125 court member states. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/u...

In June 2017, Emma made history when she was elected Kensington’s first ever Labour MP. Six days after her election, Grenfell Tower fire saw 72 local residents lose their lives in the worst residential fire since WWII. Cuts to "red tape" save money. Regulations save lives. x.com/emmadentcoad...
Screencap of tweet by Emma Dent Coad quoting tweet by Kemi Badenoch.

Emma Dent Coad: "Grenfell - 72 died from the fire, at least five died by suicide, 11,000 have PTSD, concerns about long term effects of toxicity on residents, 11 firefighters with terminal cancer - plus £1bn spent and rising.

That's 'nothing' right?"

Kemi Badenoch: "Cutting red tape costs taxpayers nothing.

It's a common sense solution to get Britain building."

Please submit your small ideas for fixing Britain to the Small-Ideas.org website. It’s a new charitable initiative I’ve set up to try and make sure life’s potholes don’t get ignored. Working with two charities and a cross party panel to turn your ideas into policy then try and make it happen.

I just do NOT UNDERSTAND why no-one wants to talk about raising inheritance tax to fund social care etc. And I REALLY DO NOT understand why Kemi can propose exactly the opposite and no-one thinks it a bit dubious to hand £6bn to the wealthiest 5% in the country. Do people just not realise??

Not least because Kemi was about 6-years old when John Barnes was strutting around in his pomp and it just speaks to her overall laziness in throwing out a 'here's a couple of famous black footballers I've vaguely heard of' line.

Just realised Kemi has the answer. She'll take away all the money from the poor and needy & build a great big iron shield to protect all the rich people who won't have to pay any taxes. Not sure what the poor will do - die I suppose. So everyone will be filthy rich. Now wait a minute...
