This is satire surely. These are the words of a lunatic.
And each Wednesday lunchtime, Starmer hands her her own arse on a plate.
First the culture war and now the sandwich war. The tories have lost the plot
” The Tory leader later attacked Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer for saying that he might watch Love Actually over Christmas, adding that she prefers watching Die Hard over the festive period.”
Really, this was the best option for leadership? JFC
>Ms Badenoch has claimed that she brings lunch in to eat
No she doesn’t.
>I have food brought in
Ms Badenoch claims she has someone bring her food.
>I work and eat at the same time
And she works at the same time!
>she sometimes chooses to eat a steak instead.
But her job is apparently easily enough to do that she’s sitting down eating a full 3 course meal whilst doing it…. I guess it doesn’t take much to slowly watching your party get ripped into tiny pieces by Nigel Farage XD
*Snaps fingers at member of staff*
**”MORE WINE.”**
I’m right-leaning, but Badenoch is just bad. She’ll be gone before the end of next year.
If we get the politicians we deserve, surely we must have been an incredibly naughty bunch of rascals.
From the same person who thinks mothers on maternity leave are simply sponging off society
She’s talks like one of those alpha male weirdos that YouTube tries to force into my feeds. She’ll be selling trt and dick pills on Instagram before 2025 closes out.
Lunch breaks aren’t needed when you get paid for doing sweet Fanny Adams 🤷♀️ try a real job Kemi!
She’s just so unlikeable. It’s like she was designed to alienate absolutely everybody.
>Ms Badenoch has claimed that she brings lunch in to eat while working because there is “no time” for a pause.
If she’s unable to manage her time well enough for something as simple as a lunch break currently, she’d be fucked trying to run a country. Bragging about being incompetent isn’t the win she thinks it is.
From what I’ve seen of her she seems to be pretty thick. Basically twerking for an audience of right-wing Americans, and doesn’t seem to realise that she’s in the UK where that kind of thing doesn’t go down all that well.
She is tough on sandwiches. Tough on the causes of sandwiches. Sliced bread. Lettuce. A filler. She tells it like it is.
LOVE ACTUALLY IS WOKE!
SANDWICHES ARE WOKE!
LUNCH IS WOKE!
Absolutely barking mad – that’s honestly the best the Tories can do?
(yes)
This is what happens when you have watched James Cleverly at too many cabinet meetings go on about his hairy ballsack, seen the chaps guffaw and chortle, and conclude ‘I too will go on about my hairy ballsack’.
Reading through her comments with all the weird pseudo-machoism it sounds like she’s trying to position herself as a copycat of Trump or even Tate.
I think it’s a 100% calculated move to motivate the same sort of people that led Trump to his presidency
Nice to see the Conservative party really upping their game in terms of trying to relate to the common man and woman of Britain.
If you don’t feel like you need a break in the day you’re probably not working hard enough, or doing a real job.
She sounds mental obviously, but even in text there’s also a smug, mean spirited quality to her speech that comes across.
And she talks about the looney left . Maybe she should have a snicker , she’s a right diva when she’s hungry
Methinks the lady will say anything to get some attention.
Imagine being so out of touch with the working class that you think everyone can have food *brought in* by your subservient underlings.
In the same [interview](https://archive.ph/H21yD) she unironically compared herself to Daenerys from GoT and even *The Spectator* had to add that this was not great.
Trainwreck.
Makes me laugh when people regurgitate Gordon gekkoisms almost verbatim not realizing what a massive critique of turbo charged capitalism and greed that film was.
Demand for food banks has never been higher… politician grandstands on eating being a sign of weakness, the privilege of rejecting specific foods, and having lunch brought to her.
At what point do they introduce the policy to have each town or region in the country earn its food ration by competing in a national competition. Call it something snappy, like Hunger Games.
One thing that’s become clear is that she is really dim.
Also the ‘work ethic’ thing she’s going for is funny, given that she is renowned for being unable to attend a meeting on time, and that civil servants had to routinely go to her junior ministers for sign off on things because she refused to do her ministerial work.
If she’s got no time for a lunchbreak as Leader of the Opposition, best not give her a job with duties that matter like Prime Minister. Poor thing would have to forgo personal hygiene.
Appealing to whatever brand of “anti woke” this is will not save her when they come for all the groups they hate.
Arguing against legal rights to a lunch break is about as silly as arguing against maternity leave as a mother— oh wait.
Who tf has steak for lunch at work if it isn’t a trip out of the office or on a lunch break?
I have sometimes eaten at my desk but everyone full time is entitled to a 30 minute break period. That break period typically coincides with lunch (or dinner/ tea if you work late shift patterns)
Out of touch with everyone else, who doesn’t work as an MP and can just nip in and out of their constitution office as they feel like.
This reads like a line from OFAH where Del in his yuppie phase refuses to eat breakfast because it’s for wimps
I’m honestly impressed at the way the Tories are managing to appoint a bigger fuckwit with every leadership contest.
How does this tool give you the impression of someone electable?
Not that I’m complaining, mind.
>There is a British prime minister who’s messing around and is not doing the foreign policy properly, people are cheating and there is a lot going on there if you move away from the smiley, happy, cheesy stuff
Fantastic stuff there, truly from the mind of one of the greatest thinkers of our time.
I love now that she’s front and centre you can really see her tone deaf idiocy, I remember a lot of people hailing her as this smart young conservative. She is not a sensible person, this is a gift for Farage and Starmer.
Look at meeeeeeeee!
I want to run the country but my time-management means I can’t find time to eat.
But I’d be brilliant, really I would.
There’s ***a lot*** of political capital to be gained from behaving like an arsehole these days. It says a lot about the country we have become (or always have been?)
Any there are folks wondering why lots of young people are economically inactive, imagine Kemi was your boss, you would have an terrible time of it
Is she trying to sound like Alan Partridge or does it come naturally?
> “What’s decompressing, what’s that? What’s a lunch break? Lunch is for wimps.
> “I have food brought in and I work and eat at the same time. There’s no time,” she said.
90% of the time when I’ve worked with someone who never has enough time to do their job and works through lunch, it’s because they’re crap at their job, bad a time management and frazzled because they don’t take proper breaks.
It’s different for purely physical labour (ie. If you can shift 100 widgets per hour you’ll shift more widgets if you work more hours) but for most work that involves using your brain you’ll be much more productive if you decompress, recharge and work more efficiently for future hours.
Someone who says “what’s decompressing?” and says that they don’t have enough time isn’t impressive. They’re not fit for a junior management position in a crappy office. If they tell you that they think they should be Prime Minister, you should tell them to fuck off.
“There is a British prime minister who’s messing around and is not doing the foreign policy properly, people are cheating and there is a lot going on there if you move away from the smiley, happy, cheesy stuff”
Strong ‘girl you wish you hadn’t started a conversation with at a party’ vibes in that comment.
This came from a lapdog fanclub interview with Katy Balls and Michael Gove in the Spectator intended to give her a platform to look good. The interview has a string of cringe making tin eared horrorshow soundbites. Even savvy Gove could not save her. I hope Starmer has a copy to ridicule her with next Wednesday. He literally could just read them back to her and ask her what they mean.
She talks like an ‘alpha male’, middle management, bell end. One of those guys who has to send you a pointless check in email at 1am to show off that he’s working late. Whilst not actually achieving anything.
Guys, it’s lunch break’s turn to be woke this week
