Will Badenoch Apologise.???

[gulliver1]

Nigel Farage has urged Badenoch to apologise or face action, after she accused Reform of making up it's membership numbers.🤣Seems like the Cons don't like to think they are now the Third Party. 🤣

[drmorgans]

 

Badenoch apologise, after what she said about sandwiches.

// the Cons don't like to think they are now the Third Party.... //

they're not. Reform UK are a limited company, not a political party. look them up at companies house website.....

[gulliver1]

These Tories "don't like it  up em" do they.

[davebro3]

Surely that's just semantics? If they issue a manifesto & field candidates for election (and are registered with the Electoral Commission as a party) then they are de facto a political party.

[gulliver1]

Wonder what TGL would think about the State of her Party now.? She probably would not  believe that it is actually in a worse state than what she left it in.

[saintpeter48]

Is the tool makers son going to apologise to the 84 year old lady who told him BEFORE the election that she can't afford to put the heating on so she stays in bed!

What did he do as soon as he was elected, took away the heating allowance!!

10.22 If the fool makers son Boris and his cronies hadn't put the Country on the road to ruin over the past 14 years, there would not have been any need for the drastic action Labour has had to take to recuperate the taxpayers money the Tories trousered.

[Peter Pedant]

Hi mushie - happy new year

political ya-ya should not be the subject of libel actions, but the politicians dont quiiiiiiiite understand that

[Peter Pedant]

Gulls come on come on

the fool maker's son is Kier S

Boris the liar's father was Stan, eastern european magnate and now Lord. 

( and you and I are outcast outgrouping ABers)

why does no one quote Callaghan and Healey 1964 -14 y of tory misrule which of course ed to devaluation in 1967 ? are you all too young to remember ?

even a marxist Beeber protested 'chrissakes it  is four years siince....." and Healey was up there: yes but the  damage was so severe that it has taken more than four years.....

[barry1010]

It's all pretty much meaningless - there is no universal method of recording membership and no official monitoring of membership, so the figures count for nowt.

[naomi24]

I don't think Stanley Johnson is a Lord.

[barry1010]

He isn't, he's a former MEP. 

[sandyRoe]

Hasn't Farage blinked first?

Messrs Sue, Grabit, & Runn, won't be needed.

[drmorgans]

 

And a Frenchman.

 

[THECORBYLOON]

I think PP is a wee bit confused, it is Boris Johnson's brother, Jo, who is in the Lords as Lord Johnson of Marylebone.

[barry1010]

Baron Johnson of Maryleborne

[Peter Pedant]

not confused - just wrong

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Johnson

Stan was on the list and they say ( hush hush ! mods around) that he was turned down as un-Lordly

Oh and companies can sue companies for libel - oo-er PP ! British Airways was sued by virgin and won libel damages ( three million)

not having a good day

[Peter Pedant]

libel companies

Legal entities such as companies or LLPs can sue for libel. They have their business reputations to protect. But Section 1 of the Defamation Act 2013 (the “serious harm requirement”) restricts the ability of claimants (including companies) to sue for defamation.

and so...Kemi ( apparently one punter on a questionnaire survey asked " are these names made up?") can retort - whatever, get a life

[youngmafbog]

//Reform UK are a limited company, not a political party.//

Haha, that old chestnut.  A Limited company is simply a vehicle and one they used to get going.  If you were up with the News you would know how how Farage is proposing to change it as they grow into a proper party.

[sp1814]

Will she apologise?

Doubt it. 

It would have to be clearly proven that she's wrong, and even if it were (cough cough Brexit), there's little chance she'd admit it.
