An unserious leader in serious times.

Perhaps that's how you do. it nowadays. Say the Government are the worst people ever and throw out your regular talking points. Don't acknowledge any complexities.

She's no Churchill is she? Not even sure that Boris Johnson as LOTO would be using an international crisis to gain cheap party points.
Thatcher once said every leader needs a Willy (Whitelaw) but the Tories no longer has any wise counselors in grey suits.

IDS flirted with running ahead of Blair on Iraq IIRC, but in the end didn't. Kemi would have blamed Chirac's Non on Britain's diminished status under Labour.

John Crace sums up the despicable Olookatme well.

This seemed to outrage Kemi. She didn’t seem in the slightest bit interested in whether Brits got home safely. If you will go on holiday or work abroad, you deserve anything that comes your way. Thank God she is never going to be prime minister. She returned to her theme. Starmer had stopped funding the armed services and given all the money to scroungers on benefits. It was now Tory policy that all benefits should be suspended for at least two months so we could buy loads of missiles and bombs. Bombety bomb.

Kemi sat down with a wide grin on her face. The look of a job well done. She had no idea that she had crashed and burned. Turned in one of the worst ever – borderline disgraceful – performances at PMQs during a time of national crisis. In her own mind, she will always be the heroine of every storyline. Even polling 1% at the Gorton and Denton byelection has been rewritten as as a triumph. There can be no hope for someone with such a severe personality disorder.

It's all very much like the days when drug smugglers should be hung, unless they're Brits abroad, in which case they're bound to be innocent.

Everybody down her parent's local found her not guilty, so what are the Thai police making a fuss about.

Doubtless she's going to join in with whatever Farage-inspired rubbish Trump comes out with on the Chagos Islands.

As I always say, this may not get the Blue Wall young professionals back.

Is this a genuine Kemi quote?

"If this was a nuclear attack, God forbid, it would be too late. You can’t always wait for people to attack you. Sometimes you have to make sure that you get there first to stop their ability to hurt your citizens."

Trump said he'd obliterated the Iran nuclear threat. Is she saying that the bloke she wants to go all in with doesn't know what he's talking about?

Probably, then again, this is her idea of gun safety.

Never, never let your gun
Pointed be at anyone.
That it may unloaded be
Matters not the least to me.

Kemi goes where Gerry Adams didn't.

Alec Baldwin knows this.

When Trump threatens our allies in Greenland, our boys step up. But which side is Kemi and Farage on?

I can't stand this. She's an absolute fucking arsehole. Rumour has it there are some decent Tories. If so, what are they doing letting this nutter lead their party.

Arseholes at least have a use. Olukemi does not, other than to steal oxygen.

Nothing like an international crisis to observe a leader's metal and competence.
How's all the top pundit predictions that 'Starmer is finished' going?

The real issues- Muslims.

The absolute state of this.

Badenoch told the Conservative’s spring conference in Harrogate, North Yorkshire: “At a time when Britain needs strong and decisive leadership, we have a prime minister who is too afraid of making the wrong decision, too afraid to make any decision at all.

“Last week’s byelection has spooked the Labour party. They watched the Greens campaigning on sectarian voting lines. A tactic Labour used for many years is now being turned against them. And now Keir Starmer is too scared to make foreign interventions for fear of upsetting a tiny section of that electorate.”

In which she finds herself on daytime TV and getting grilled, for once.
