Almost every black man at Westminster has at some point been mistaken for one another. My favourite example of this happening to me was the Downing Street spad who just *unloaded* at me about Sunak’s shortcomings thinking I was Matt Hancock’s then-Spad.
saw someone arguing James Cleverly was unelectable because he was Liz Truss’s chancellor 😬

Also Luke was literally a SPAD for a Conservative cabinet minister. Sure he leans left compared to Matt but so would Margaret Thatcher.
This is a bit rich given Matt Goodwin was the least accurate pollster at the 2024 general election…

My longrun concern is not that this stuff becomes electorally popular in the UK, but that Mae D’Up, future Conservative MP and/or SpAd, is continuing to marinate in this stuff on X.
The racist blueticks are all siding with Lowe but Farage is right about the wider electorate. It's a classic example of how social media is fracturing the radical right.
There is a massive row between Rupert Lowe and Nigel Farage over at The Other Place, but this quote from Farage to the Telegraph seems the heart of it: Farage ordered Lowe to not use "repatriation" in the speech. He doesn't seek the AfD path, and knows that would cap Reform's support a lot.

Obviously this stuff - presumably dictated by a Home Office SpAd - makes absolutely no sense, even in its own terms, but it illustrates how the case for these changes has disintegrated.
