Caught about 20 secs of Badenoch's response to budget speech yesterday (I refused to listen at the time) & genuinely appalled at how low the Tories have sunk. Are crass sneering ad hominem insults really the best they can do? Embarrassed that this woman is allowed anywhere near public office.

Today, Nigel Farage reiterated his belief that Enoch Powell ‘was right’.
If you are a Sikh, he’s talking about you - about how ‘wearing turbans whilst driving a bus would disrupt Britain’.
If you are black, he’s talking about you - how when you moved in next door to white people, you ‘took over’.
