    The right spends so much time in the media kissing trump’s ass and talking down Britain. Bunch of losers. This cretinous woman is only saying this now cos she’s seeing the poll that most brits dislike the dying racist moron trump and his ilk.

  2. She’s only saying this after the latest polls show most Brits despise Trump. She’d never let go of any opportunity to criticize Starmer and would support everybody and anybody who hammers him. No matter what she tries to pull off, Tories are toast for years to come.

  3. No it’s not OK for British politicians to try out this ‘my previous positions don’t matter’ malarkey. She should be called out for this.

    I will never not laugh when I think of Kemi.

    To picture the Tory leadership, hunkered down in a what I can only assume is a green, leather clad bunker of some sort, desperately searching for the answer to their existential conundrum.. who can save our party? On whose broad shoulders shall we place our hopes? Heseltine stewing in an high backed armchair while Mogg paces about, bony, Victorian fingers tented in anxious anticipation and someone pipes up from across the dark room.. “maybe Kemi Badenoch?” 🤣

    It just fills me with such joy. In their darkest of hours, they thought this opinionless, facade of a human being, utterly devoid of any small morsel of charisma, was to be their saving grace?!

    Took time but it seems politicians across the political spectrum all seen the light and realised attacking trump is a vote winner in the UK and they aren’t going to let starmer own that space m

  6. Well this I didn’t expect. Has Trump shit the bed so hard that even the Tories don’t think it’s worth trying to be close to him any more?

  7. Doesn’t matter

    Be another week and she be back on the otherside of the fence complaining about something they had 14yrs to fix

    It really is getting bad when even she is calling out the fascist, after she spent all this time saying that we had to follow him.

    If Kemi Badenoch was PM, the UK would currently be taking part in the US/Israel attack on Iran and she’d be desperately trying to beg the rest of NATO to send ships to help secure the strait. As Trump is finding out, you can’t just change your mind and back out of a war after realising it’s not a great idea.

    Starmer read the situation correctly from the start. Badenoch (and Farage) would’ve eagerly leapt to do Trump’s bidding. That’s something nobody should ever forget, regardless of how much they try to pretend they’re against the war and Trump now.

    She is a coward, she’s changing her mouth because it is irrefutable how much of a POS the pdf american maga leader is the leader that Right wingers idolise, support and are trying to emulate but the British public is waking up and rejecting the pdf maga leader and right wingers that are trying to lead us into being an authoritarian vessel state for pdfs and a millionaire billionaire class of America

    She’s like a piece of straw blowing around in the wind, first she’s going this way, then she’s going that way, this time next week she’ll be in either Istanbul or Timbuktu

    Kemi is such an epic irrelevance it literally doesn’t move the needle whether she is right or wrong.
