Wandsworth 94% council-tax rise prompts Kemi Badenoch legal action
Boris Johnson stuffed the BBC full of Tory placemen, some of whom facilitated six-figures personal loans to support his lifestyle. Now Kemi Badenoch is having a hissy fit because a trade unionist has been given a symbolic place on the Bank of England board.
lukewarm24.bsky.social7Boris Johnson was the most corrupt PM in uk history He normalised fraud, corruption, ineptitude and incompetence He also met kgb agents secretly, took Russian money and put a Russian kgb agent in the House of Lords He should be in prison for life
Steve Jary7Yet Osborne’s appointment as Chair of the British Museum was not cronyism at all. Oh no.
paulcompassrose.bsky.social4There has been a TUC director on the board since 1946
agreeablesteve.bsky.social1Why did Keir not deal with this or Andy do it when he came in instead? They did exactly what you said and hopeless Labour have done nothing to erase 99% of the shite the Tories did over 14 years - why?
Lazy-Activist1when you say loans, were they ever repaid?
michael-martin22.bsky.social1This is laughable from Badenoch.Under the leadership of Boris Johnson,of which she was a member,this was the most corrupt of parties.Johnson’s behaviour alone warranted closer scrutiny than it received so fake outrage from her over this appointment won’t wash.
UK Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch on Newsnight: “Liz Truss has had her time. She made serious mistakes as Prime Minister.”
Travellersuzy9No shit kemi... Tell us more about your pick for shadow chancellor!!
Andie Hallihan5Not long until the conservatives set out to reverse Brexit …
Dawny B4Politics has become a comedy. Signing off.
Nich Hills4Liz Truss made serious mistakes. But will she subject herself to self criticism? I think not.
Chairman Moët3and what were those mistakes Kemi? Having Chris Philp in her cabinet? Having Andrew Griffith in a finance brief?
ldn001.bsky.social3Always ahead of the curve is BadEnoch. What would we do without her insight and wisdom?
Should funding higher defence spending mean cutting housing benefit? Kemi Badenoch says private renters who can’t afford their rent would have to move. But where would they go—and at what cost? Bob Cronk reports.
Alan Hall 🇪🇺5Perhaps she could move somewhere less expensive than the close to £3k per month rent she's claiming on expenses. I guess the difference here is that she could actually afford it but she'd rather claim from the public purse.
Allen Bergin4The same badenoch who has her rent paid by the taxpayer.
Muddled mind4Bring back the fair rent officer and stop landlords treating tenants as a cash cow. How about stopping tax avoidance/evasion to fund defence, might even be enough for the NHS.
Vivienne3Every time she makes a statement she demonstrates how clueless and out of touch she really is.
Kit Calder3“Move” is not a housing policy unless cheaper homes exist nearby. Otherwise cutting housing benefit converts a rent problem into displacement—and adds moving costs to the bill.
HarleyRiv3…to cloud cuckoo land perhaps?…
Mike Bailey18Typical blinkered Tory, disconnected from the reality of half the population, unable to imaging what it feels like to have housing insecurity. Badenoch claims £2700 a month plus council tax for a six bedroom farmhouse in her constituency. Queen of let them eat cake.
Broken Politics 🌍10Exactly. Move to where? Further and further north until thousands of us end up looking for an affordable room to rent in John O'Groats, hundreds of miles from work, family, friends?! BadEnough is as stupid and ignorant as Truss, but even more arrogant #r4today #ukpolitics #bbcnews #wato #Badenoch
