I might need my head read, but I think I despise Badenoch more than Farage! 12:12 - Dec 1 with 2171 viewsThe_Flashing_Smile

I already thought she was an odious woman who would sell her own mother for a couple of political points. But her attack on Rachel Reeves when Starmer spoke to her: "Is he mansplaining to you by the way? Is he mansplaining? Do you want help? Would you like some help?" I just found deplorable on so many levels.

If a man had spoken to Reeves like that he'd have been destroyed for it, and probably forced to resign, but a woman doing it to a woman is seen as acceptable by some (I've even seen some online describing it as her best speech yet!)

She then had the nerve to say, "If she had any decency she would resign." In that exchange (and there's plenty more, but the mansplaining bit stood out for me) Badenoch showed she's the one who has no decency.

I know there's a fair bit of banter in the House, but that went beyond the pale for me, and was designed to appeal to a certain unpleasant demographic. It doesn't make her look strong, as she no doubt feels. It makes her look pathetic, rude and just horrible. And it does absolutely nothing for women, equality etc. Criticise the budget if you want (let's be honest, she was going to criticise whatever it was) but that was shameful and utterly unnecessary.

Reeves deserves everything thrown at her. She's a puppet to the left and if she goes Starmer goes and God help the Country in mad Milliband ever got into number 10.
Badenoch said what most people are thinking. The old saying "If you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen" is spot on for Reeves.
It is true that almost every politician lies. But to have a conference a few days before the budget and then say I will need to put one or two pence on the basic rate tax when she was told by the OBR that she had 4.2 billion headroom was a lie.
She then has made tax payers and those on low incomes be dragged into paying tax via the further freezing of personal allowance until 2031.
Labour are destroying the Country, putting people out of work whilst taxing further those that have still got a job.


It's incredible that we have the most right wing Labour government, probably ever, and still they are a puppet to the left. Take your blinkers off.

Just noticed the downarrowers for this thread. Wowsers! You people actually think it's ok to speak to a woman like that?! I just hope you don't have wives, daughters or sisters, and I feel sorry for your mothers if they're still with us.
