Tory leader Kemi Badenoch is blaming the Vauxhall job losses on the electric vehicle mandate introduced by Tory business secretary Kemi Badenoch. I wonder if the two of them are related?

Had these race riots happened during the last few years of the Conservative government Britain would have been a far more dangerous place for people of colour.
As a @conservative my first commitment is to my country and I’m relieved a sane squad are in charge during these troubled times.

Nazi salutes, swastika tattoos, defecating in gardens, looting local shops, attacking mosques, chanting fascist slogans, throwing missiles at everyone & setting police stations on fire, but don’t you dare call them “far right
Well, just plain “Nazis” it is then

When a bunch of grinning arseholes rock up blind pissed and coked up to a grief-stricken community just to have a punch-up and torch a Mosque, I’m not sure it’s even technically POSSIBLE to “smear” them, Isabel. They’re the literal lowest of the actual low. They’re BENEATH scum.

I have spoken to the BMA junior doctors committee, and can announce that talks to end their industrial action will begin next week.
We promised to get negotiations up and running and that is what we are doing.

George Galloway should hang his head in shame. Accepting political donations from a vile misogynist who is currently await trial for rape and human trafficking. This is why @hopenothate campaigned so hard against him in Rochdale lbc.co.uk/news/george-gallow…

Fantastic team out in Thornes this afternoon.
This week, people across Wakefield and Rothwell face a clear choice – five more years of chaos with the Conservatives, or a changed Labour Party offering to turn the page and start to rebuild our country.
