.@KemiBadenoch is leading a steady resurgence in our party’s fortunes.
We’re ahead of Reform in the polls and closing the gap with Labour.
I hear it time and again on the doorstep: people want a proper plan to Get Britain Working - that’s what the Conservatives are offering 🇬🇧
@PinocchPrincess Part of the problem is the media keeps reporting on them & giving them oxygen. Can you imagine if the media just stopped? What a glorious day it would be!😂😂
Kemi challenged: why does Labour want to drill off the Falklands but not the North Sea? We need cheap energy.
He waffled about wind farms.
What the hell is their plan?
Andy Burnham put in a poor performance at today's Prime Minister's Questions. He had a slightly plodding delivery, which didn't help, but the real problem was that he didn't have anything to say.
The Prime Minister ended up asking Kemi Badenoch a lot of questions to try to deflect from his inability to give answers himself. There were just too many of these deflections, though, and he appeared unsure and evasive.

Bumbling Burnham is completely out of his depth as PM.
He's incapable of making the big decisions that need to be made right now, relying instead on "vibes", dither, delay and tinkering around the edges.
We need Kemi in No. 10 - the sooner the better.
@JackWDart She was on the money.
Burnham said afterwards that “the whole country is watching”. They are, and they agree with Kemi Badenoch.
Russell Brand was brought into the fold by a presently serving Cabinet minister, and that judgement should absolutely be condemned today.
“But he’s got so much time on his hands that last night he attended a speech by the head of the Civil Service. He’s supposed to be telling her his plan, not sat in the audience while she tells him hers.”
Brutal of Kemi. Burnham would be out of his depth in a puddle
Whatever happened to Prime Minister’s Questions?
Once upon a time... PMQs was an opportunity to demonstrate leadership...authority.. intelligence and the ability to think on your feet.
Now? It is becoming increasingly painful to watch.
A Prime Minister who appears to stumble over his words... struggle to deliver a coherent response and repeatedly leaves you wondering whether he actually knows what he wants to say.
The hesitation...the stuttering... the scripted soundbites and the endless political theatre. Where is the confidence?
Where is the conviction?
Where is the authority of a Prime Minister like @Keir_Starmer ?
PMQs should be about answering questions.. holding government to account and demonstrating that someone is firmly in control.
Instead..it increasingly resembles an uncomfortable performance...with more bluster than substance and more excuses than answers.
The country deserves better.
Parliament deserves better.
And frankly... the office of Prime Minister deserves better.
Leadership isn't just about sitting in the big chair. It's about having the ability... composure and conviction to lead.
And watching PMQs now...I can't help thinking just how much that is missing.
What an absolute shambles.
When @andyburnham cannot command the chamber... you have to wonder how he expects to command the country."
All utter complete waffle @UKLabour
Just watched #PMQs
Setting aside Kemi Badenoch absolutely trouncing Andy Burnham. What was going on with him?
His reliance on responding to Kemi with shrill "she .... she ... she".
He was stuttering, unfocused, at one point completely emotionally detached from the Commons.
Labour are legislating to ban new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea, but Andy Burnham doesn’t seem to know that from his weak answers.
Kemi Badenoch once again destroying this weak and out of his depth prime minister, who was left waffling and unable to answer anything. #PMQs
Oh my. First time I’ve watched PMQs since Burnham was parachuted in as PM.
My goodness he’s bad. Really bad. I actually think he’s worse in front of the dispatch box than Starmer.
Burnham comes across as a puppet. It’s like he’s pretending to be PM
Er, he’s Er, Er, terrible Er
Wow! Kemi making mincemeat of mumbling, bumbling Burnham.
He doesn’t seem to know whether Jackdaw is a gas field or an oil field. Does he know the grid is hopelessly unable to cope with the renewables’ output?
Useless, inept, illiterate, thick Labour government.
I don’t know how many times we need to say this. Harry is no longer the 12 year-old boy walking behind his mother‘s coffin. He is a 40 something miserable man whose true nature the world is finally getting to see.
Yes his wife is not a good person, but it doesn’t excuse him. She didn’t change him, she brought out the man he’s always been. This fake military image was all just a cover-up for the bratty, annoying ,manic person that was always there.
There’s no changing him, changing him to what exactly? What you see is what you get. I’m just glad everyone gets to see the monster that was hidden in plain sight.
