Yes but does anyone really take anything she says seriously?

moonponysophia.bsky.social•69 days ago

Got to pay attention to what the enemy is up to.

stigjones.bsky.social•69 days ago

Fair point👍

cosmos2005.bsky.social•69 days ago

The same Toby Free Speech Young who deleted hundreds of tweets when he was appointed on the board of the university regulator

He's a cunt
Plain and simple

ldn001.bsky.social•69 days ago

She thinks it’s brave to be homophobic because she’d love to express those views publicly.

pensionerdave.bsky.social•69 days ago

He are some more ideas permeating through Tory ranks.

steve-wood.bsky.social•69 days ago

The CH bloke can't be real.
He looks like a caricature of a 1975 nonce.

pensionerdave.bsky.social•69 days ago

Caricature?

steve-wood.bsky.social•69 days ago

Surely. I didn't think it possible to look like that in the 21st Century.
A friend would have taken him to one side and said "Mate, you need to sort yourself out" ...... Oh. Friend? That may be the issue.

pensionerdave.bsky.social•69 days ago

Young Conservative - doesn’t that explain it? What he was saying was more appalling that what he looked like. Heaven help us!

jimup60.bsky.social•69 days ago

Anyone surprised Kemi has no moral compass ?

elinor-a.bsky.social•69 days ago

This needs the HIGNFY treatment. The extended cut.

moonponysophia.bsky.social•69 days ago

Young is a trashy little bigot who has never done anything brave in his life, which has been one of laziness, privilege and malice.

lilacliz.bsky.social•69 days ago

She really is a stupid cow. It pains me to say it as there are too few women in positions of political power, both in the UK & around the world, but she has marginally fewer functioning brain cells than a rocking horse. No wonder Fartage thinks he is on to a winner.

babshbruce.bsky.social•69 days ago

Hilarious. Totally agree. Can I adopt Fartage? Perfect description.

lilacliz.bsky.social•69 days ago

Re Fartage: please do.

ka7ma.bsky.social•68 days ago

average white band

dempski56.bsky.social•69 days ago

Is "brave ,true radical" longhand for knob head?

ceri38.bsky.social•69 days ago

Everyday there is new evidence of her total stupidity.

pudner.bsky.social•69 days ago

If it were just 'stupidity' ! No, she is a danger to womankind and the vulnerable in society. She is a nasty piece of work.

ceri38.bsky.social•69 days ago

That is true and I don’t dispute it. The combination of stupidity, arrogance and entitlement is as you say dangerous. But at least she’s not in power. Say what you will about Starmer he’s better than her.

pudner.bsky.social•69 days ago

Let's hope she never gets to be in power 🙏🏼
...and for the record she could never hold a candle to Starmer .

ceri38.bsky.social•69 days ago

I don’t think so either but there are a lot out there on both sides ready to slate him.

pudner.bsky.social•69 days ago

Yes too many don't recognise good governance when they have it...thanks to the self-serving cons for 14 years of destruction.

buchanan101.bsky.social•69 days ago

Young is an antivaxxer. His nonsense during COVID killed people. As well as all you’ve mentioned he’s an utter scumbag.

ruckman1.bsky.social•69 days ago

Kemi is such a fucking edgelord.

philt602.bsky.social•69 days ago

Putting aside his other (lack of) qualifications, is being a 'brave raidical' really the best characteristics for anyone in the legislation scrutiny role?!?

neil68.bsky.social•69 days ago

That lark - the House of Lords - needs to be abolished. No good ever comes of it

drjeremyfilet.bsky.social•69 days ago

Bad-enoch is mentally ill though. She needs help.

podkin.bsky.social•69 days ago

Haha... Kemi really has no clue.
Toby Young, for f*cks sake!

alanjstedman.bsky.social•68 days ago

She's always got the option to do stand up I suppose when it all goes Pete Tong

I have now resorted to just laughing at her inanities rather than getting angry because she has crossed the rubicon from vaguely sane to completely batshit crazy!

adambienkov.bsky.social•69 days ago

Toby Young also has a history of putting out "significantly misleading" information about Covid during the pandemic

zoonie.bsky.social•69 days ago

I didn't realise he was also a climate change denier, I thought he was just a monumental, embarrassing buffoon. Surprising what you can miss when you take no notice of an attention seeking, childish idiot.

lesvaches.bsky.social•69 days ago

Sorry what? She's made the Toadmeister a peer? Fecking he'll!

90ssuit.bsky.social•69 days ago

Anyone who has Toby Young in their Fantasy Failing Upwards League team must be feeling smug. 😁

tsunami65.bsky.social•69 days ago

Translation: he's a lying sack of shit

Kemi Badenoch Boasts About Handing Peerage to ‘Radical’ Covid Sceptic With a History of Sexism and Homophobia

ivanmos.bsky.social•69 days ago

Lol that prick looks like Phill Mitchell 🤣

iebathrugby.bsky.social•69 days ago

Surely his past will prevent him from being allowed to take a seat - if not the rules changing pdq🤷‍♂️

afnotbricktop.bsky.social•69 days ago

Young, Coffey and BadEnoch! That is a threesome🤮

richardmtaylor2024.bsky.social•69 days ago

If she wants to just issue a f*ck you to the public raise the Johnson to the house. Don't go half ar$ed about it.

passerjim.bsky.social•69 days ago

I look forward to when he's obliged to stand down for some misdemeanour past, present or future.
Oh, the excuses he will make!

gazfs.bsky.social•69 days ago

For services to baldy bigotry?

serehfas.bsky.social•68 days ago

As an Aussie I am confused. If Labour is in power, how come an Opposition member is giving out peerages? Or was this done before handover?

thebluesislove.bsky.social•69 days ago

"actions speak louder than words" is probably a throw-away phrase that should be taken much more seriously these days.

bjc73.bsky.social•69 days ago

Shocking choice.

mr.place•69 days ago

Yeh, but “owning the Libs”

carolebristol.bsky.social•69 days ago

He's a nasty little shit.

jim1132.bsky.social•69 days ago

It's spelt "Radical" but pronounced "Rancid".

sallylowe.bsky.social•69 days ago

Looks like Grant Mitchell...

rigg.lgbt•69 days ago

He still looks like an angry bollock, I see

invisiblenan.bsky.social•69 days ago

I see Phil Mitchell after a session.

alidila.bsky.social•69 days ago

What a horrible person

susanglh.bsky.social•69 days ago

Vile.

tocatchathief.bsky.social•69 days ago

Brave, smart etc etc err noo he's just another blue twat
Love the "shit mitchell" comment 👏🤣🤣

jazzaoxon.bsky.social•69 days ago

Didn't the Free School he was associated eith failed? What a bleater.

robertebrighton.bsky.social•69 days ago

Shill Mitchell

espacey.bsky.social•69 days ago

She would

abc-biarritz.bsky.social•69 days ago

Very clearly demonstrates that this is who the tories are now.

Not talented, not accomplished - just nasty.

lizhop.bsky.social•69 days ago

What has he EVER done to deserve this?The man who appears to think he is an expert in everything, and knows nothing about anything. This is really scraping the bottom of the barrel. The honours system in this country is nothing but a scam. Nepotism at its very worst !!!

maddestma.bsky.social•69 days ago

🤮

mr-norris.bsky.social•69 days ago

Business as usual for the Tories then. I just don’t get the panic about them leeching voters to Reform and there being some right wing tsunami coming…. They’re all one of the same offensive rabble that don’t get the vast majority of the public.

cathyregan1.bsky.social•67 days ago

So, an obvious choice then

lornas.bsky.social•69 days ago

Of all the worthy people who could have been nominated she chooses this guy.

johnhatchard.bsky.social•69 days ago

Between 2021 and 2022, COVID-19 was a leading cause of death in children and young people in the United States, ranking eighth overall ...

jakkb77.bsky.social•69 days ago

Don't believe what he says.

harrysenior.bsky.social•69 days ago

Toby young... christ...you might as well bung mr blobby in there

grumpydad182.bsky.social•69 days ago

That's harsh on Mr Blobby 😂

consortjso.bsky.social•69 days ago

He doesn't just limit his disinformation sharing to covid... he's a climate change denier

https://bsky.app/profile/thedisproof.bsky.social/post/3ldsngiogv22v

smeatons.bsky.social•69 days ago

I could describe him in fewer words.
Well one actually.

just-ed-is-fine.bsky.social•69 days ago

She borders on what might be described as a "pick me girl".

...a description of woman who aligns or shares views with misogynists (I suspect often as part of a grift). Candace Owens and Pearl are good examples.

dee-sussex.bsky.social•69 days ago

Seriously but really seriously… this is just plain wrong. Worse than scraping the barrel; this misogynist should be under the barrel.

codeblackdirective.bsky.social•69 days ago

Playing a role in politics that she probably hasn't truly got much linkage too. For money, notoriety & extreme ego

db13.bsky.social•68 days ago

What do you expect from someone who couldn’t hack it at McDonald zero stars

neurodivergent07.bsky.social•69 days ago

Given there are no bigots who only target one group, I have no doubt whatsoever about what he likely says in private about race; but even he is not stupid enough to post that. Imagine being a the first black leader, surrounded by rancid bigots and rewarding them... the cognitive dissonance...

maximusdecimus.bsky.social•69 days ago

Stupidity helps with being a Tory

gillmh.bsky.social•69 days ago

Badenoch isn't just stupid, the woman's totally unhinged.

joseph-yossarian.bsky.social•69 days ago

She seriously lacks critical judgment

scruffmonkey.bsky.social•69 days ago

Or perhaps just maybe and bear with me here, she’s just a fucking idiot?

agatakobe.bsky.social•68 days ago

I’m not sure she’s not done this just ‘to annoy the right people’. Seems to be a creed among that lot these days.

joseph-yossarian.bsky.social•69 days ago

I was putting it more politely, but yes she is.

pudner.bsky.social•69 days ago

On that basis she'd probably judge Dominic Pelicot and the 51 scumbags similarly. Badenoch is NO friend of womankind.

monrouge.bsky.social•69 days ago

She's an idiot!

michael-fox.bsky.social•69 days ago

She’s trolling you. That’s all. Don’t go for the bait.

2primates.bsky.social•68 days ago

Imagine achieving this level of impunity. Gregg Wallace must be fuming.

cfayin.bsky.social•69 days ago

It’s almost like she never to bothered to do research.

consortjso.bsky.social•69 days ago

🤦‍♀️

viscountfishpond.bsky.social•69 days ago

There is no better argument for the immediate abolition of the Lords than the kind of people recently elevated. Largely vile people selected only because of favours performed, cash donated, familial connections, or the stoking of divisions.
