I see she labelled the Labour party the Peado party and Lindsay Hoyle did his best impression of a mute.

Bucketload of shit the both of them.

Surely that is "unparliamentary language"? Or does that not matter in the archaic institution we call parliament?

[mattomac]

It’s Hoyle… he’s too busy bragging that he brought down Mandelson.

Whilst Badenoch is currently doing well at PMQs with lots of easy wins on offer she isn't really in a position to offer up manifesto policies that could see her out perform Labour and Reform in a general election. In the current by-election the Tories are currently on around 3% and could easily finish up behind Advanced UK.

Fewer than a thousand votes in the By election.

Lost deposit. Resign !!!!!

Lost deposit. Resign !!!!!

Kemi's party dissenters don't need to unseat her.
There's another party that'll welcome them.

[Samanfur]

Given that you could probably fit the percentage of the parliamentary Tories needed to open a leadership challenge in a 'phone box, this could be a problem if the only people left there weren't headbangers and zealots to start with.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Kemi's going for "Weak Starmer serving Muslims not the national interest by not joining initial strikes v Iran", I see.

She really is the worst ever. How many of the traditional Tory voters actually support going all in with Trump? Not to say they were all careful weigher uppers of statecraft, but some certainly would have been, plus a lot of pretty hardline don't get involved at all types.

I would be tempted to say that she's after Trump wingnut welfare, like Truss, but lots of them don't like this stuff either. And I've seen nothing to suggest that she is anything less than this nasty and ignorant.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Tories claiming they don't understand the UK Government position. This really is short term political narrative (weaky U-turn Starmer) over even any pretence of national interest. They might as well install Trump in Downing Street. Sovereignty, eh?

[Andy McDandy]

They don't really have any policies or positions beyond "No, not like that". They're the Yosser Hughes of political parties - "Gissa government, I could do that".

[Youngian]

Imagine how a Labour LOTO would be pilloried for the pathetic game playing Badenoch is trying on; "unpatriotic, student politics, weak on terror, unfit for office" blah blah.
A Labour government has to frame this narrative as it has no media friends to do it for them. Other than Kevin McGuire on breakfast telly.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Starmer is quite good at dealing with this stuff from her at PMQs. I assume there's going to be a specific debate on this soon. That might be his best chance.

[kreuzberger]

We know exactly what the tories think of international law. They sat on the government benches and explicitly told us.

[Tubby Isaacs]

I regret to tell you, she's not improved since yesterday. This sort of stuff would shame the worst Oxford Union political hack.

Sir Keir duly put this leg stump half volley away. He did well not to die of laughter, seeing that Kemi got 1.9% in the by-election last week.

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch asks if the prime minister is prioritsing his own job security over national security, in the wake of Labour’s humiliating byelection defeat last week.

Starmer responds:

Moments like this define a leader of the opposition, they can either up, act in the national interest and show they are fit to be prime minister or they can expose their utter irrelevance. She has chosen the second.

[Tubby Isaacs]

The rest of the Tory party are as bad as the leader, it seems.

This question is as silly as Badenoch's stuff. Sir Keir swats the long hop away through midwicket.

Tory MP Gareth Bacon asks if the prime minister’s “dithering response” over Iran has made the special relationship with US stronger or weaker.

Starmer says American plans are operating from British bases, UK jets are shooting down drones and missiles to protect US lives in the Middle East and intelligence is being shared.

“Hanging on to president Trump’s latest words is not the special relationship in action,” he says.

[Rosvanian]

I don't know how Starmer holds his tongue.
" Fuck off, you thick Tory cunt" seems to be the only reasonable response here.

Excellent, I'd make just one edit "She and her lost deposit have chosen the second".

Gareth Bacon: Shades of Lincoln's

Government of the gammon, for the gammon, by the gammon

She's not the most conclusive armchair general I've ever seen.

Did I miss her calling for HMS Dragon to be in Cyprus before?
