Kemi Badenoch went on record to accuse Labour of "promoting Hamas propaganda in parliament". She will never be PM and if by sheer luck she ends up being so, she'll be less able than Lizz Truss.
Badenoch draws cross-party criticism for backing Israel’s expulsion of Labour MPs | Kemi Badenoch | The Guardian

#Badenoch on ##TrevorPhillips starts discussing 'free speech' and refers to six nurses in Darlington who refused to get changed in front of a pre-op transgender woman and were, consequently, dismissed from employment
She said this was an example of free speech being curtailed.
It isn't.
Apart from general flab shame, I would not have any worries.
Girls?
#Badenoch is crowing the wonderful Tttptpttt deal or whatever it's called. ##BBCLauraK reminds her it will only add 0.8% over 10 years to the economy
She rather naively thinks we can pick up a trade deal that we started in 2020 and carry on where we left off
She is seriously out of her depth
Darren Jones on #BBCLauraK says it was "unacceptable" that the two Labour MP were denied entry to #Israel
#Badenoch on the same programme says "they were breaking the law"
King Charles will have to tone down support for net zero after Badenoch says 2050 is ‘impossible’ - https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/05/king-charles-will-have-to-tone-down-support-for-net-zero-after-badenoch-says-2050-is-impossible nonsense: #badenoch is a cynical disgrace, an idiot, and should resign
With the exception of #Badenoch's, there were only two questions asked by the #Conservatives at today's #PMQs
What has happened to the opposition?
On today's #BBCLauraK, Alex Burghart, the Shadow Duchy of Lancaster, talked about how #Badenoch had changed the #Conservative Party after saying the country needed a '#Rwanda' policy to stop immigration
Ahem

The only difference between the tories and Starmer's government is that to the best of our knowledge, Starmer's government is not using their position to enrich themselves. On anything else they have the same policies as the tories and they deliver them more efficiently.

Karla Denyer makes a good point on tonight's #Peston
"Why, if a recent poll shows 75% of #Conservative voters want to see #Green policies, is #Badenoch rowing back on Theresa May's 2050 #NetZero committments?"
I'd give her six seconds.
I bet the #Tories and especially Kemi #Badenoch are privately seething they can't go around promoting #Trump on his Ukraine 'plan' and ditching of them in favour of Putin, when they also have to be against Nigel #Farage as he's taken parts of their base, despite their slide into the same political rhetoric anyway.
#Badenoch banging on again about #UK leaving the #ECHR. So tiresome! And irresponsible given everything that's happening right now. Was addressing #TuftonStreet mafia echo chamber that was behind #BrexitCarnage while being funded by #US far right.
Well done Sue Lascelles Carr, Baroness Carr of Walton-on-the-Hill, DBE, PC (born 1 September 1964) is English jurist and life peer who has served as Lady Chief Justice of England and Wales since 1 October 2023.
#Starmer, a Kings Counsel, should have known better than to be lead by the nose into off-the-cuff commentary at PMQ on a case on which he was plainly ill-informed & the rebuke is fully warranted. As for #Badenoch...she's a Tory - misrepresentation of legal decisions is in her DNA.
"Kemi #Badenoch: 'Die westliche Zivilisation wird verloren sein', wenn die Tories scheitern."
Badenoch verhält sich zum Rassismus der Tories so, wie #Weidel zum Queerhass der Afd: als woman of colour legitimiert sie den Rassismus ihrer Kolleg*innen, wie Weidel den Queerhass der ihren legimiert.
