Back in the day, the more pious amongst us said never to call them stupid - even when they were. Badenoch shares with the worst Brexiters not just idiocy but an embarrassing lack of self-awareness and shame.

Sleaze probe? A sleaze probe I’m more interested in is the one that resulted in Nathan Gill, former colleague of Farage and ex-leader of Reform in Wales, being chucked in the slammer for a decade after accepting bribes linked to pro-Russian influence campaigns.

“Telegraph prints credible piece” shocker.

If Britain is broken, key figures now in Reform helped break it. A Labour government would ordinarily be exploiting the vandalism of hard Brexit which Farage supported and still does but it can’t because, thanks to its 2024 manifesto pledge, it too is now wedded to this folly.

Ordinarily the govt would be using these wretched figures to cudgel Farage (and the Tories) but it can’t because, in two monumental acts of myopic stupidity, Labour backed the deal which has caused the damage (it could have abstained) and then enshrined the worst of it in its own 2024 manifesto.

After the Brexit referendum, the Tories felt compelled to lie in order to cover up the huge con trick they’d played on the electorate. They normalized dishonesty in government. And now Labour has decided to ape them. Don’t think politics has looked this grim in my lifetime.

Labour has started lying about stuff in the way the Conservatives routinely lied. That’s a problem if we’re to have any hope of a healthy discussion about a lot of things and try to stave off, rather than pander to, the worst liars of all, who may form the next government.

Is this what post-Brexit sovereignty and freedom look like? The man who may become the next PM fawning to a foreign bully and denigrating our public-service broadcaster?

Love and solidarity this morning to the right-wing rags clutching their pearls about the possibility of tax rises after championing Brexit, which has left the Exchequer £40 billion worse off than it would otherwise have been.

On the contrary, it’s delivering pretty much on target the things its critics said it would. For which we were called Remoaners or worse. A bigger concern is whom a PM Farage would scapegoat next once he’d recklessly torn up the current deal with the EU and seen British business suffer even more.

The high priests of Brexit were always going to blame its failure on someone else. And it’s odd because Farage wanted us out of the EU on even worse terms than those secured by the Tories, which have already increased costs, delay and red tape, and deprived the Exchequer of £40bn each year.

Perhaps the bigger problem is with Brexiter ideologues such as Hannan who tried obsessively over years to convince the electorate that leaving the EU, which has impoverished us more, was a smart idea.

Fantastic news. The sweary Reform leader of Kent Council, Linden Kemkaran, has undeclared the climate crisis. What better example of Brexit Britain? When reality defies political promise, when it’s tiresome or scary or imposes tedious sacrifices, let’s deny it exists.
Infantile, petulant idiocy.

Trying to work out if this piece in the Brexit-fetishizing Telegraph is the result of stupidity, cynicism or a near pathological lack of self-awareness.

Since the Brexit referendum, the Telegraph has become the Pantomine Dame of confected outrage against the very thing it fought for and continues to uphold. The new Schengen Entry and Exit System isn’t sound border management but a “pointed insult”. Hilarious.

The death wish predates Badenoch (however clueless she is). It was Johnson who began in earnest the Tory shift to the hard right and marginalized sensible moderates. Now, bereft of its centre-right USP, the party is condemned to imitating Farage miserably.

Hard to grasp that this tripe comes from a Labour government. What does Mahmood think immigrants do all day? Has her own family history of immigration to the UK given her no pause for thought about the effect of this sneering “prove yourself” tone on workers keeping frontline services going?

After the Brexit referendum, many pro-Europeans insisted on blaming the con artists, not the conned, even though everyone apparently knew what they were voting for. How does anyone think the party whose leaders wanted us out of the EU without a deal think these charlatans would handle Brexit best?

Rebuild as what? The Conservatives’ problem is that since the 2016 referendum they’ve become ideologically indistinguishable from Reform, with neither the current leader nor her heir apparent seeking to change that. When Johnson got rid of the sensibles in his party, he got rid of the Tories’ USP.
