Then she is as bad a liar as JD. He is ignorance masquerading as sagacity. Pathetic people.

andyf1980.bsky.social•9 days ago

there is something fundementally wrong with that woman that only sectioning will solve

wemdmj.bsky.social•9 days ago

Vance is indefensible and @kemibadenochmp.bsky.social should know that.

jonnymorris.bsky.social•9 days ago

Think a typo has crept in there. A "deeply respectful" should be "deeply disrespectful".

soundandfury.bsky.social•9 days ago

Just not reading the room *at all*

matthewperren.bsky.social•9 days ago

…which is her specialist subject on Mastermind.

In which case, if we add those 20k troops from a random country to those that could be provided by UK, France etc., Vance must think there's quite a substantial potential force being put together.

tonyprinciotti.bsky.social•9 days ago

It's typical of Vance - who acts as if he's spent way too many hours on sites like Rumble and 4Chan - to say something stupid or provably false, then claim it's been misinterpreted or "twisted" by "the media." Classic abuser behavior: "No dear, I didn't hit you; you're imagining things again."

PMQs is gonna be interesting tomorrow 🤔

miladylilburn.bsky.social•9 days ago

Another one who never knowingly rises to an occasion. How will she defend these comments to her constituents whose relatives fought and died in the actions alongside American troops.

themis59.bsky.social•9 days ago

If Badenoch keeps saying things like this, she will continue the demise of the Tories. Or they will boot her out of her leadership role. Because she is so utterly bad as opposition leader.

lurch.bsky.social•8 days ago

She should be ashamed of herself!!!

crowby.bsky.social•9 days ago

Another Bad Enoch fail. Everywhere she steps…

ferst60.bsky.social•9 days ago

Typical MAGA response

jodami.bsky.social•9 days ago

It really is a skill to be incompetent 100% of the time.

No stopped clocks for Kemi, she just keeps on ticking.

ianrobo.bsky.social•9 days ago

She was ok for two days ….

jodami.bsky.social•9 days ago

Were those the two days she shut the fuck up?

ianrobo.bsky.social•9 days ago

On Laura n Sunday and in the house yesterday !!

jodami.bsky.social•9 days ago

Laura probably told her what to say.

ianrobo.bsky.social•9 days ago

Ah of course !!!

600 brothers died supporting USA when they were attacked in 2001.

stevepronto.bsky.social•9 days ago

After 2001 attack on USA UK helped USA losing over 600 troops and many more casualties. This was to stand by USA Vance and his draft dodging mate couldn’t give a toss.

liammcreanan.bsky.social•9 days ago

She's so utterly shit at this.

durlstonp.bsky.social•9 days ago

Even though only one leader (Starmer) had mentioned 20,000 troops.

stu31.bsky.social•9 days ago

She can’t remain as leader if this is her stance.

iwebshaw.bsky.social•9 days ago

It’s not even plausibly deniable.

pintxosandwine.bsky.social•9 days ago

Tories are now led by a politician who is siding with Trump against the UK. Unbelievable.

durlstonp.bsky.social•9 days ago

Sadly, utterly believable.

dextercrisp.bsky.social•9 days ago

He was absolutely disparaging British troops, that's why he chose the 40 year cutoff (with the Falklands in mind).

Because the US won in Iraq and Afghanistan all by itself, according to him.

As for Badenoch... No surprise, really.

tonyh1409.bsky.social•9 days ago

Looks like another Tory leadership contest coming before the summer I think. They are not going to let her continue

dlynch.bsky.social•9 days ago

Isn't there a word for those who side with our adversaries?

adefow.bsky.social•9 days ago

2 words - “The gallows”..

foolishmichie.bsky.social•9 days ago

He wasn't just disparaging British troops, he was disparaging your entire country as being a nothing.

rooflight1.bsky.social•9 days ago

My great grandad was one of those troops who fought for freedom from a brutal land grabbing, murdering dictator.
So he died for nothing?
For her and her goons to stand there spout her ill informed crap, she’s lucky because with my great grandad and millions of others she’s not have that luxury.

korgill.bsky.social•9 days ago

Vance is a shitstain on the underpants of America.

ianrobo.bsky.social•9 days ago

Being too kind to shitstains

aladdinnoons.bsky.social•9 days ago

She always denies what she herself actually says so it’s not a surprise she uses the same line to defend the indefensible. She’s a complete joke and a national embarrassment
