Kemi Badenoch tells Keir Starmer that "we had a Budget in March this year and tractors were not blockading the streets of Whitehall afterwards."

Thought I'd self-publish this commission that got spiked despite it being ages after the US election because:
- I spoke to some great academics
- I put a lot of work in
- I now firmly believe the first female president will be a Republican

I posted a last thread on Twitter which I think is worth sharing an adapted version of here:
❗️ Democracy does not actually die in darkness: it dies in broad daylight because of the choices people make.
Historians have been telling you that since forever.
FFS: Listen more to your historians!
