There’s never any recognition from these stupid Tories that most people claiming benefits are actually in work. It’s almost like they’re just trying to demonise recipients as lazy skivers… #r4today

Describing potty training as a right of passage was not the best choice of words. #r4today

How long before Badenoch claims her childcare subsidy for the well off plan has been misrepresented?

“Britain is on the slide” says one of Britain’s richest, tax dodging, wealth extractors. Arsehole. #r4today

You can tell Farridge is trying to hold in his tantrum by the way he keeps lifting his heals off the floor and flexing his toes in his man-of-the-people handmade shoes. #bbclaurak

Farridge’s suit makes him look like he works in a holiday camp and is about to judge the knobbly knees competition. #bbclaurak

I guess Farridge might’ve been hacked. When he received an unsolicited email from a far off country offering to put £5m in his account in return for his bank details, he probably thought it sounded reasonable.

Tony Blair might be Britain’s most electorally successful Labour PM, but his brain has been baked by his proximity to international “think” tankery. He’d get nowhere electorally with his beliefs these days. #r4today

“We’ve learnt the lessons. It’s a new Conservative Party” says Badenough. While trotting out all the same Tory nonsense that gave Labour a landslide. They’ve learnt absolutely nothing. #r4today

Badenough made a mess of that. Without evidence, she's obsessed with the notion that Starmer misled parliament and it led her down a dead end. #pmqs

Given how much Russian money they have taken, would the Tories and Reform pass vetting?

CEO of a fossil fuel company doesn’t want the price of renewable energy de-linked from the price of his fossil fuels. Funny that. #r4today

Nigel Farage complaining that Reform UK shouldn’t have bothered taking over a struggling council spoke volumes about his attitude – 15 votes of no confidence
May 2025 saw something of a mini landslide for Reform UK in the local elections, winning 41% of the available seats on 23 English councils. After promising to introduce Doge-style cuts and bring down ...

You just know that Badenough stood in the wings ready to go on for #pmqs convinced every question was a gotcha and that she was going to bury Starmer. Crackers.
