Watching Jeremy Hunt literally short-circuit when confronted with cold, hard facts that dismantle his whole worldview is incredible to watch. #bbclaurak

Is mainstream media finally calling out the snake-oil populism of Reform UK and figures like Robert Jenrick?
Where was this scrutiny when they were laying the groundwork years ago?

‘I’m not a defence expert'
‘You’re the leader of the party…’
@NickFerrariLBC pulls Tory leader Kemi Badenoch up on the details of their 'Iron Dome' proposal.

The optics are grim - cutting benefits to fund childcare for those earning over £100,000, coupled with an ineffective “iron dome” and scrapping the EA.
If this were an A-level politics student’s draft manifesto, it would be torn to shreds...

If TV news anchors treat interviewing politicians like a polite game of tennis where nobody sweats, you can hardly blame the rest of us for zoning out, eating crisps, and nodding along... #bbcbreakfast

If Badenoch & Griffith get their way and scrap these watchdogs then DEFRA officials better brush up fast on flood defences, housing targets... and legal challenges.

Andrew Griffith conveniently forgets his party cut the budgets of the Environment Agency & Natural England to the bone and now wants to fold them into DEFRA, ditching their legal independence...

Does Victoria Atkins' "vision to bring back some common sense for the countryside" include scrapping the Environment Agency and Natural England which consecutive Tory governments "cut to the bone"?

Starve the Environment Agency of funding for years until it's on its knees, then claim it's so broken and useless that you have to abolish it entirely.
Truly a Tory masterclass in conservation...

Nothing says "radical new direction" quite like dredging up support from the exact same politicians that were comprehensively fired at the last election, all piling back onto the Badenoch bandwagon full of "beliefs" from the Tory political graveyard... #r4today #bbcbreakfast
“This is what we believe.”
A famous phrase from Conservative history, and @KemiBadenoch has set out her own core beliefs today in The Right Way.
The Right Way is about principles as much as policy, and does what this Conference needs to - setting out a comprehensive and highly coherent @Conservatives vision to make Britain stronger and more successful.
From reviving the economy to funding defence, from policing our borders to public service reform, this is proper, serious, unapologetic Conservatism, and I hope as many people as possible will read it.

Badenoch's "Conservatism" only conserves one thing - the interests of the rich and the entitled, to the absolute detriment of everyone else...

NEW - The Conservatives will announce a bonfire of regulations including abolishing affordable homes and community funding rules as well as scrapping Natural England and the Environment Agency.

The political pundits trying to rebrand Badenoch as the "new " saviour of the Tory Party do so while ignoring her previous roles within government and those they previously hyped who have left because they could no longer face the stench of collective culpability...

Kemi Badenoch’s Tories blissfully ignore their own role in creating these problems. Having had years in power to fix them and choosing not to, why would anybody trust them?

Defence spending or Ethel from Grangetown?
Taxing private schools suddenly doesn't feel so bad now does it?
