Kemi Badenoch’s ability to plant political time bombs that blow up in the face of the party she leads is truly unparalleled.
What’s particularly impressive here is she could have found this out herself before raising the profile of this issue at PMQs.

I hate the "rounding up for charity" campaigns because I think it's the capitalists who own the supermarkets who should contribute, yet sometimes I want to support a good cause. So I round up at the self-checkout and steal an item of equivalent value.
