Funny how Kemi Badenoch turns up on an oil rig whose owner donated a quarter of million pounds to the Conservatives since she became the leader .

Given the crisis in the Gulf we need to drill for more oil, good on Kemi

The disingenuous opportunism of various Conservative figures in Parliament and on here is off the scale.

Except, they have been saying for many months that Miliband was completely wrong on this policy.

The opportunists are in Labour.

Some of us on the Labour side have been consistently slagging off Miliband's incoherent policy combo of blocking new gas production while simultaneously funding new build CCGT and Blue Hydrogen, to burn gas for the next 30 years.

Building new CCGT is a sensible policy, unless you want to see the lights go out in the winter? We’re going to be burning gas for decades to come.

Carbon Capture is blooming expensive though and just adds cost with zero real benefit if the rest of the world is ignore climate change.

The headline writer enjoyed themselves with this one:

BREAKING 🚨🚨🚨

Liz Truss suggests “underground transgender mafia” may be responsible for Italian chocolate heist that saw over 12 tonnes of KitKats stolen.

https://x.com/politicoforyou/status/2038627212924953012?s=46

KitKats are the official chocolate bars of F1.

It is currently unknown if the underground transgender mafia are responsible for this sponsorship deal.

Given that the Twitter account 'politico for you' is labelled as 'satire', I would suggest this post is a trap for the rather less intelligent section of users.

We have been fooled and Truss's 1 fan saves her reputation! Kudos.

They are selling the notion that licencing new fields for the future would resolve the lack of fuel at the pumps.

One could also remind Kemi that she was foursquare behind Trump's disastrous adventure in the Gulf. Without Trump's disastrous adventure in the Gulf there would be fuel at the pumps.

Kemi’s oil rig campaign will have succeeded on its own terms if it takes attention away from her enthusiastic embrace of Trump’s war in the early days.

One senses it probably has. Any mud from this seems to be sticking more to Farage.

I desperately hope that those selling Badenoch as the future win the short game.

If she leads the Conservatives into the next GE, they will not do well.

Would that be the unused oil rig sat in a dry dock

Rather sums her Tory leadership up.

You don't see that it being in a dry dock is the very fucking point?

It should be out in the North Sea drilling for oil and gas reserves.

The very point Kemi is making - to your considerable and clear consternation.
