I was almost tempted to write a lengthy analysis of Kemi Badenoch’s Policy Exchange press conference yesterday but it wasn’t anything new on anything she was saying last June.
Immigration is still the biggest issue for me as it affects everything - public finances and benefits, housing, policing and crime, education, NHS, national security - but you’re right there’s more. I noticed too that Hannah Spencer mentioned “hard work doesn’t pay” and the right wing media missed this and just made fun of her fixing the leaky taps in Parliament. Most citizens don’t live on Substack or X like we do and don’t make these connections. I’m still sticking with Reform as I believe they have the best chance of victory for the right but they’re not cutting through on the economy or cost of living matter. Jenrick and ex Tories don’t have the empathy to make them believable.
I think there is no doubt that immigration is an important issue especially with anyone who on a daily basis sees the effects of the migrant ghetto areas.
I was actually talking in Wales to someone not particularly interested in politics and is a carer over weekend. Just in a birthday dinner setting,that was horrified that the Greensbine in Gorton and Denton.
She is for Zia Yousef. Not Nigel Farage,which I found very interesting.
Senedd elections coming up. Shexwas concerned about ger fuel bill for gas/ electric and how much her rent had gone up by.
I disagree. Out of all the 3 supposedly Right wing parties (I am not convinced of Reform's RW credentials) the Conservatives seem the most sensible. They've still got a long way to go but they're not consumed by vanity, resentment and stupidity.
They're not getting any traction because there's still a lot of rage and resentment (a lot of it coming from Reform bots who amplify it) and that Reform have pulled a masterstroke in getting almost the entire Right leaning media on their side. Times, Telegraph, the Mail and Express, GB News, Talk Radio and now the Spectator are all on Team Nigel. This is more significant than the Tory defections who are a very mixed bag with none of them being outstanding. To get the Tory press under their control, bigging up Reform and being dismissive of the Conservatives is their biggest coup.
Immigration is crucial, but so is the cost of living crisis/economy. On hearing about the latest Middle East conflict, I have to confess my first thought was, 'how much is that going to put on bloody energy prices?'

Sadly, it is just bubble politics. However, the bubble in which they live, I believe, is due to burst.
Why the picture of Kemi when talking about the right? Tories are woke lefties.
