I don't think anyone should be losing sleep over Badenoch & her shills in the right wing media; this living manifestation of the Dunning-Kruger effect will soon be consigned to the same bin as previous hapless Tory leaders like Duncan-Smith, Hague & Howard, grifting a living on the fringes.

Kemi Badenoch is the most rightwing leader in Tory history. Isn’t it time she got some actual scrutiny? | Owen Jones
Farage’s scandals have allowed Badenoch to get her party back in the race. But her programme would be no less ruinous for our country, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

But of course thanks to Verbatim & C4 News we now know for certain how differently Farij behaves when he doesn't know the cameras are on him compared to when he does, when he's doing his party political broadcasts in his happy place on Gbeebies, or being interviewed by Mason or Kuenssberg.
The Poundshop Oswald Moseley, Nigel Farage, caught in an undercover journalistic sting boasting about illegal donations made to him and his company Reform UK, which masquerades as a political party, in a restaurant in Clacton. He clearly does not know he is being filmed as he is on licensed premises but does not have a pint of beer in his hand.

Thank you to the Independent for including me in Climate List of Worlds Top 100. The UK Labour Govt are due to approve new oil & gas licences in the north sea. They've delayed the decision post October 8th. We can invest in renewables instead. Vote Green in Holborn & St Pancras
Since becoming leader of the Green Party in 2025, Zack Polanski has made the links between climate change, inequality and the cost of living central to his politics, arguing that environmental action must also make people’s lives better.

This summer, as the UK faced its hottest summer ever and wildfires swept across the UK and the rest of the globe, he called for oil and gas companies to pay higher taxes to fund climate adaptation. That is alongside investment in cooling homes and public spaces and bringing water companies into public ownership.
