The Ultimate Hypocrisy: Why the Tories Have Lost the Right to Lecture Anyone on Defence
There is a particular brand of shamelessness that only Westminster politics can produce, and this week’s commentary in the Daily Mail provided a textbook example.

Given that the previous Tory government decimated our armed forces and cut defence spending, why would any sane person believe a word that they say:

All of which doesn't add up to a row of beans. Badenoch is deluded and Andrew Griffith was a Treasury Minister in the doomed Liz Truss mini-budget. Who in their right mind would vote for Austerity 2.0 Conservatives to fix 14 years of mess left behind by Conservative Party governments? #ToryHypocrisy
🔷 It's been a busy day in Birmingham for #CPC26 - talking about the key issues facing small firms.
We've had lots of productive discussions, including with Leader of the Opposition Kemi Badenoch and Shadow Chancellor Andrew Griffith, on rates, energy costs, and the future of high streets 👇

Badenoch is pathetic - constantly throwing rocks from the sidelines, without anything constructive to bring forward. Never forget she is top draw at submitting her expenses claims, just like Helen Whately! #ToryHypocrisy Meanwhile, Kuenssberg fawns all over her - ugh.

"Helen Whatley MP spends every day bashing disabled people online and calling them scroungers.
She has claimed for almost £2,000,000 on expenses since 2015.
£300,000 of this are for her own travel and accommodation etc, yet she lives 50 miles from London. "

Kemi Badenoch and Helen Whately are both experts at claiming and maxing-out their expenses claims, while moaning incessantly about reducing benefits claims! #ToryHypocrisy
Never mind free market Conservatism. More like freeloading Conservatism from Kemi Badenoch. The Tory leader claims £2,700 per month (£32.4k a year) for her 2nd home in Essex 50 miles from Westminster. And she claims £4,000 a year council tax on expenses.

So Kemi Badenoch is whining that a Labour government is taking money from affluent Tory areas and giving extra to poorer Labour areas. Has she forgotten Rishi Sunak boasting about taking money from Barnsley and giving it to Tunbridge Wells #r4today

Badenoch is concerned about the economy but doesn't see that it's her party who has put us in the position after 13 years of lying, corrupt, greedy rats selling everything to the highest bidder & then warns of a war before 2030 yet again fails to acknowledge her party scaled down the defence spend

Happy Tuesday lovely freebirds. Now more than ever, those who can't help themselves need a bit of support from those able to offer it. If you're fortunate enough that you can, please donate to a local charity or food bank. Winter is going to be tough for too many folk 💔 Have a blessed day 😘

In the Epstein files are references to a 9 year old girl from Brazil. References to some hideous things. Those men remain anonymous.
One thing I know is not one of those references is Keir Starmer.
Yet our media think Epstein will get rid of our PM because … bad decision
