Me neither.

Without too many references to "Couldn't you have worn a suit?", have you seen the neck line on that t-shirt?

(Jeez, hetero men ... )

[Abernathy]

You’re talking about Phil Moorhouse? Well, he’s never given David Beckham cause to fret.

[Oboogie]

I've never really paid any attention to Phil's appearance, in fact I often don't watch his videos as I'm only interested in what he's saying.

First name terms and Russell Brand t-shirts, is it now? OK, boomer.

Has Phil really got a Russell Brand t-shirt? You're paying far more attention to his wardrobe than I.
On a point of pedantry, I'm not a boomer - but you are.

[kreuzberger]

Separated at birth?

[Oboogie]

Maybe, although twins commonly resemble each other slightly. What additional evidence do you have?

[kreuzberger]

Identical t-shirts, next!

The Reform pact is clearly on, with Kemi jettisoning Net Zero. The EHCR will go next, then it'll be "immigration in the tens of thousands" again.

But why should Farage bother with the Tories? And does he even want to spend his time working through his ministerial red box? I suppose he might be interested in a Clegg like floating role, but the Tories would be mad to trust him with that.

Good Origin Story on Badenoch by Ian Dunt and Dorian Lynskey.

Suffice to say, I thought she was rubbish to start with, but after this I’m amazed she’s done as well as she has - and let’s be clear, her leadership has been an absolute shitshow so that is in no way meant as a compliment!

Makes the point that Kemi was 'talent spotted' by Michael Gove like Cummings. He's the fucking kiss of death.

Problem here is they are her positions anyhow.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Lots of implications if this happens, but could Kemi survive this sort of disaster? Even in 2013, when UKIP were doing very well, the Tories held Kent County Council with 44 seats v UKIP's 17. In fact, apart from 4 years of NOC in John Major's doldrums, the Tories have held the council since 1973.

Ed Davey might fancy his chances with some of those nicer parts of Kent that the Tories managed to hold last year. Sussex and Surrey have had their elections postponed, so I presume there's some campaigning capacity available. Labour came second in most of them, but those "Lib Dems winning here" leaflets are very persuasive, with to without dishonest bar charts.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Yes, they are. And she's still being outplayed by Farage, who at least sounds like he's not on the internet all day.

This would seem to be a lot worse than getting free tickets to a Sabrina Carpenter concert. Doubtless we can accept the same breathless coverage, right?

Badenoch and family spent week as guests of climate sceptic Tory donor
Neil Record, chair of Net Zero Watch, hosted the Conservative leader and others shortly before her policy U-turn

Kemi Badenoch enjoyed a £14,000 week-long “residential” with her family along with a small group of the shadow cabinet courtesy of the Tory donor Neil Record, who chairs a climate sceptic lobby group.

The Conservative leader was joined by other members of the party team at a location in Gloucestershire during the February half-term; most of the shadow cabinet were not invited.

The trip took place about a month before Badenoch U-turned on the party’s commitment to achieving net zero by 2050, saying it was “impossible” for the UK to meet – one of her first major policy pivots since taking over in the autumn.

QTWTAIN.

[Tubby Isaacs]

If LOTO gives a speech and nobody notices, does she make a noise?

This "business strangled by red tape" stuff might be better coming from someone who was the Business Secretary 9 months ago.

Never heard of Sabrina Carpenter and feeling very old. Unlike Raving Rachel or as the Mail now calls her 'Wriggling Reeves.'
