Look how visibly excited Robert Jenrick is by his brilliance as a statesman; how high on his own supply.
It is astonishing that this bitter, angry, talentless bingo-caller is considered a serious prospect in a major party. If he or Badenoch are the best they can do, what does it say about the rest?

More than a QUARTER of police forces in England and Wales still haven’t implemented basic policies for investigating sexual offences.
It’s like they don’t care. It’s scandalous, but it’s borne out by the experiences of so many women – women like Nina Cresswell.

“i won’t go unless i can wear my princess costume!” is something one typically hears from little girls not ruff tuff fbi directors but here we are
This FBI “pulse check” report on the dept under Patel and Bongino is a mixed bag - the fibbies love having no more sensitivity training but many hate going on ICE raids and think leadership is weak - but this anecdote is clearly gold: K$H Patel wearing the traditional FBI Director’s ladies clothes.
