Badenoch's (Lack Of) Vision Quest

[briantrumpet]

Yup.

Fwiw it is perfectly possible to have great compassion for disabled people and their challenges, whilst recognising the costs.

But it is a challenging issue. Generalisations should probably be avoided - save to acknowledge the difficulties and not castigate people who decide they are too huge to take on. Assuming they ever have the option.

Indeed.

 

[briantrumpet]

Quite. Even without that knowledge though, is she claiming that an amputee of whatever limbs they've lost doesn't face challenges in daily life that don't incur costs that the state might assist with? Someone really neds to dig down on this one and question her directly (obviously with the consent of the person she thinks she is referencing).

Behr (Guardian columnist) kinda saying the same thing.

As you say, maybe the issue is wider than just Ms Badenoch. Why aren't her advisors pointing out the many obvious flaws in her justifications (for most things, not just welfare cuts). Why aren't Conservative MPs pointing out the obvious and saying "no" (given their responsibility is to the electorate not to Ms Badenoch)?

Anybody that disagrees with her will be expelled or deselected. They have the leadership they deserve.

So basically is she a Tory Starmer ?

Not as clever. More populist.

Yeah but she doesn’t have enough people to kick her out like Starmer.

She also has no power.
They are just letting her keep the seat warm for a bit. No point jumping into the hot seat too early in the recovery cycle.

My thoughts since she won the leadership contest.
She is too full of herself to realise.
