It's amazing that not agreeing with innocent people being killed is now an extremist view.

Sign of the times I suppose.

Incorrect. Supporting BDS is the extremist bit.

There’s a good clip from Question Time on YouTube where Andrew Neil explains the reality of Gaza to her.

Badenoch has made it clear that there is no room for centrists in her Tory party.

So we now have two parties vying for the same votes. Not the smartest move by her given that a) she needs the votes of the centrists to win and b) Farage is much better at appealing to the populist voters than Badenoch is.

Where does that leave the normal Tories? Do they defect to the LibDems?

Who knows?  I think she would be more at home in the Reform party though.

Foolishly focusing only on portraying herself as the True Conservative.

I heard her say, in regard to Prosper, that what that meant was only her vision of it.

Done to try and distinguish her party as the right leaning party. But oops, just pushed the left part of it, and still loosing more to the right.

As the article said, it's the broadest church that has the best chance of winning. So, not the brightest there.

Apparently Farage is saying that Reform have the most vigorous vetting process of all of the parties. Shame no one bothered to look at his X account.

He has admitted that a few “wrong ‘uns” slip through the net. A few??? 😂
