She'd do well on the Christian fundamentalist TV circuit in the US.
I think she's gone beyond Reform (if that is even possible).

Apart from the fact she's a Buddhist (I know, how is that possible....)
A fair point but the money...(and fame).

Unicorns fart glitter.
Some of the murderous violence against the Tamil minority in Sri Lanka during the civil war was incited and coordinated by Buddhist priests.
^ And against the Rohingya.

Conservative MP Sally Anne Hart on social media this morning in a clip that appears to show her stating that people with learning difficulties should be paid less because "they don't understand money".

Does Sally Anne Hart “understand money”?

Hart is a member of the Conservative Common Sense group who among other things believe that
Sue Pertwee-Tyr
Accuphase all the way down
So it’s ok for them to determine the future, but if anybody else tries, that’s arrogant?

She should be careful saying things like that, she'll be thrown out of the Common Sense Group for being a hand-wringing liberal. Slavery or euthanasia would be more like it.

A fascinating couple of graphs from Richard Murphy in the FT highlighting just how deranged the Tories are economically these days. The most far-right party in the “developed world”. More batshit crazy than even Trump’s GOP.
PS I question the position of Labour, though in fairness the data is from 2022. I’d put Starmer top-right quadrant of the second graph now. To the left of the Tories, but not by much. The FT article doesn’t seem paywalled if entering via the Twitter link.

Surprised to see the second graph shows Labour still in the Left/Progressive quadrant.
Also quiet funny that it shows them aligning themselves most closely with Lib Dem voters.
Edit: ah - the article is from 2022. I suspect the position of both parties will have shifted somewhat since then.

I added a PS as that baffled me too. I put the LDs a long way to the left of Starmer/Rees, but the data used seems to be from 2022, which may be before Starmer had fully abandoned all his pledges and started larping as NuThatcher.
