Badenoch has already been asked to tell the truth in future please.
My favourite Will Self moment was on Newsnight talking about the Phone Hacking scandal, and his opening gambit was to say - “This whole imbroglio is epiphenomenal”.
Home Office 'cut corners' buying asbestos-contaminated £15m migrant camp
The government watchdog finds the Home Office made "a series of poor decisions" buying the site in East Sussex.

A very handsome reward for someone...
I know the US election has dominated the newwires since it happened, but the first fortnight of the Badenoch Era seems to have been a massive damp squib, she's had two remarkably bad tilts at PMQs and a PO grilling but otherwise has been a bit of a nonentity. I'd celebrate this ongoing Tory moribundity, but with his alliance to Trump and regular media stints I do worry just how much Farage is going to start feeling like the 'actual' LOTO and what that might mean politically. A cheeky fiver on Reform to overhaul the Tories next election? Maybe.
Anyway speaking of Trump and the future of the Tory party, their members prove they've got their fingers firmly on the pulse of decency (so much so it's cutting off the circulation):

Was thinking about this yesterday, having not seen this post. The Tories and Farage will be watching the US to see how it plays out, and if it’s not a total disaster, I think will lean heavily into the ‘cutting government waste’ agenda as their platform.
It’s a simple message, and as I mentioned somewhere else, tautologically agreeable (“of course cutting waste is a good thing”), and opens the door for ideological cutting of public services and tax breaks, which are generally a Tory supporters’ wet dream.
There could be a race between the Tories and Reform to claim this battleground.

King Charles's Coronation cost taxpayers £72m
Government figures show that more than £20 million was spent by the Home Office policing the event.

I hope this is now an annual November tradition, like getting a Beano annual every year as a kid we can now have the latest Dorries blockbuster in our Xmas stockings to find out exactly why every Tory except her and Boris are frauds over and over again.
Wow, Badenoch mentioned "the petition" at PMQs. What a dunce.

Yeah saw that. Who’s going to break it to her that in order to be a populist you have to be popular…at least with someone.
I do wish the Labour benches would give her a bit more stick though. They sit very quietly waiting for her to just mess up on her own but if they gave her a bit I think that fake confidence she tries to put on would crumble.

My my she makes Liz Truss look almost competent. The archetypal Tory sneering and belief that she knows better than everyone else isn't going to endear her to voters. It might not even be six weeks before the grumbling starts over her leadership, well lack of it.
