Re the DEI training: £7.5k per year to level expectations of behaviour and standards for a large workforce is pocket change.

Compare that to the £200,000+ Jenkyns claimed in expenses for the time she was an MP - and someone name one of her accomplishments for the taxpayer…

Lesson for Labour: never get into a limbo contest with a spineless liar…

💯! Reform have a compelling story (even though it’s bs). Labour need to show change. We need to relax the fiscal rules, invest, build and instil hope that the future is going to be better than the past.

It needs to be soon so we have time to see some of the benefit before the the next election.

I would argue that it’s more fundamental than that. Brexit moved the Overton window further to the right.

It’s opened up the mainstream to degraded, fear-mongering parties with more compelling stories to capture people’s fears and it spirals from there. Tories made themselves irrelevant.

Reform: “Do you want to see institutional change?”

Lincs: “Yeah!”

Reform: “Cool, vote for this Tory then.”

🤦‍♂️

She was definitely positioning herself on Laura Kuenssberg earlier. The horrifying thought is that I think the Tory party membership are deluded enough to switch back from Reform for her.

Liz Truss was elected by the Tory party. Rishi Sunak got the premiership when her government collapsed and the Tories didn’t want another leadership contest.

Rishi Sunak speaking ‘on behalf’ of all UK citizens is an unverifiable assertion given that he’s an unelected prime minister and refuses to call an election.

That’s unelected by the country AND unelected by his own party.

That minuscule green line really puts into perspective how brief Truss’ premiership was 😂
