Badenoch's comments implying all carers do is "wipe bums" is very revealing. Of course, a carer wipes bums but also provides security, friendship, dignity, routine. Badenoch is a fool.

Extraordinary rainfall distribution in UK in September. Bedfordshire and Oxfordshire saw their wettest month in our 188 year series. But only 25% wetter than average overall despite many areas having 3x average rainfall. More details in Met Office press release www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

From the moment Russia downed flight #MH17, killing 300 people, including almost 200 Dutch citizens, Rutte realised how dangerous Putin is. He then formed a coalition of countries supplying F16s to Ukraine. Today he became NATO's SG. His main agenda item: make sure that Ukraine wins the war.

NATO's new chief Mark Rutte voiced strong support for Ukraine on Tuesday and said he was not worried about the upcoming U.S. election as he could work with former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris.

Whoever convinced the Tory leadership candidates to dress up like they were at a funeral should receive a CBE at the very least. Brilliant.

Call me old-fashioned, but I think stealing classified documents, being an adjudicated rapist, encouraging espionage, and plotting an armed insurrection to overthrow our democracy is disqualifying for anyone running for president.

Kemi Badenoch claims that Labour has more power in society than the Conservatives: “they have the unions, the BBC [applause], charities…all we have is each other.” BBC point complete nonsense. And of course, the Conservative Party famously enjoys no media support whatsoever…
