Kemi Badenoch is just an embarrassment to her party but also, and more importantly, to this country. Conservative Friends of Israel member.
Get rid of them.
Wake up, Goodwin. Many have already gone that way, mainly because of the Jew/Zionist/Israel lobby that you seem to support. Indeed, the troublemaking Jew-Zionists have been targeting me for over 12 years:

The karmic consequences devolving upon Israel, the Israeli Jews, and their supporters overseas, will be crushingly heavy.
I commented on that cartoon yesterday or the day before.
Islamic and Jewish traditions, laws etc, cannot be tolerated in Europe except as niche eccentricities among small minority populations. Once those populations become large, and once those traditions and “laws” start to interfere with the country as a whole and/or its general or universal laws, the said traditions and laws have to be subordinated to the general law of (in this case) England and the UK.

No, little Kemi Badenoch, nothing will alter your support for the continual international law defying, terroristic, territorial expansionist, criminal bandit state now carrying-out a confirmed genocide in live technicolor.

The only thing little Kemi Badenough is good for is destroying what little remains of the Conservative Party. I expect they will get rid of her soon either after a by-election loss in a Tory-held seat (something which may happen even though they are the official ‘Opposition’ eg William Hague lost the Romsey by-election in the year 2000) or after disastrous results in next year’s council/Scottish Parliament/Welsh Senedd elections). I see no evidence of fresh thinking on her part or any sign of a renewed political programme for government.
Mind you, even a new leader might not make any difference. If the opinion polls are in anyway accurate, the Tory Party will not effectively exist for much longer with Labour set to follow shortly.

The only seats likely to be retained in by-elections by Kemi Carpetbagger and her dissolving party are, as you say, constituencies so hard-core Con that even the LibDems cannot make headway. As you say, Christchurch or somewhere of that sort, but they are often composed largely and, in the case of Christchurch, almost entirely, of pensioners who have noticed (most of them) Kemi Badenoch’s wish to junk the Triple Lock.
Britain has an ageing (white, English, British) population. Hardly any real Brits are being born. Most births are black, brown, Chinese etc. The voters who are, in broad terms, 60+, are the key to electoral success at present, though. Most are of white European origin, in a word “Brits”, and they are abandoning both Con Party and Labour Party.
The key to the (unexpected to me, really, looking back a few years) survival of the LibDems lies in those facts. The older (and some younger) voters are willing to vote LibDem because it is both perceived as British and is not Con or Lab. Default voting. Dustbin voting.
I shall be interested to see what happens in the next “Middle England”-type by-election. I suspect a Reform victory, but possibly (if in southern England) a LibDem one, and some Con candidate unexpectedly turfed out.
In the north of England, any by-election will go either to Reform or, if in a Muslim ethnic-minority area, to some Islamist-type party.

I agree. The Lib Dems have recently been increasing the number of ethnic candidates they have been fielding. Something which will backfire more on them than it does when Labour or fake Conservatives do it since voters do not identify with the party as a whole as much as the electorate do with Labour or Tories. Choosing excellent or exceptional candidates is more important to the Lib Dems than with the other parties.
There appear to be a few cases last year where the Lib Dems could have won more seats but for ethnic and/or bad candidates eg Sheffield Hallam and Chelsea and Fulham which went Labour!

It will be interesting to see what will happen in a constituency with a large number of Islamic voters in a by-election if there are candidates standing from both George Galloway’s Workers’ Party and one from Corbyn’s new leftist-islamic party. Will they both stand and possibly split the Islamic vote to let a Reform UK candidate win or have an agreement between them for a candidate to stand only from one of their parties? Corbyn’s new outlet will be fishing for voters in a voting pool that both parties will aim to win over. I had a look the other day at the individual constituency results at last year’s election on Wikipedia and it was noticeable that a very large number of candidates for Galloway’s party had Islamic sounding surnames.

Part of it may be “cognitive dissonance”.
The Jews, inc.

Of course, the USA is (via its corrupted political class) just doing whatever the global Jew-Zionist lobby wants. Were the USA to withdraw support, both direct military support or supplies of arms and ammunition, Israel would fall, and those Jews unable to flee would be slaughtered en masse. I think that that will happen anyway, eventually.
Once Israel is no more, the power of the global Jewish/Zionist lobby will be a fraction of what it now is, and more easily taken down.

I do agree 100%. It happens with almost all the famous and glorifies brands. In some of them, there is an undeniable very high quality, like Rolex, Gaziano & Girling (shoes), Montblanc (fountain pens), but they are ALL awfully overpriced, because the bottom line is profit, a profit fuelled by greed (from the producers) and snobbery/stupidity (from most buyers).
I worked for nearly a decade at the high end of menswear in Australia and, thanks to the Internet, I learnt even more about the so-called “tricks of the trade”. Most of the famous brands that produce ready-to-wear (RTW) clothes offer mediocre quality in exchange for a lot of money. One of the best examples of this practice is the famous company “Ralph Lauren”, founded by a tiny and very clever Jew called Ralph Lifschitz.

Yes, you are correct. Cleopatra, a fantastic film for all its flaws.
My understanding is that Cleopatra made an enormous amount of money and did attract large audiences, but lost money (initially) by reason of the record production costs.
“Cleopatra premiered at the Rivoli Theatre in New York City on June 12, 1963. It received a generally favorable response from American film critics, but an unfavorable one in Europe.[5] It became the highest-grossing film of 1963, earning box-office receipts of $57.7 million in the United States and Canada, and one of the highest-grossing films of the decade at a worldwide level. However, the film initially lost money because of its production and marketing costs totaling $44 million ($452 million in 2024[6]). It received nine nominations at the 36th Academy Awards, including for Best Picture, and won four: Best Art Direction (Color), Best Cinematography (Color), Best Visual Effects and Best Costume Design (Color).”
[Wikipedia]
“Three weeks into its theatrical release, Cleopatra became the number-one box office film in the United States, grossing $725,000 in 17 key cities.[128] It held the top position for the next twelve weeks before being dethroned by The V.I.P.s, which also starred Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. It recaptured the number-one spot three weeks later,[129] and proved to be the highest-grossing film of 1963.[130] By January 1964, the film had earned $15.7 million in distributor rentals from 55 theaters in the United States and Canada.[131][132] It finished its box-office run with $26 million in rentals in the United States and Canada.[133] The film was also a major hit in Italy, where it sold 10.9 million tickets.[134] It sold a further 5.4 million tickets in France and Germany,[134] and 32.9 million tickets in the Soviet Union when it was released there in 1978.[135]
“By March 1966, Cleopatra had earned worldwide rentals of $38.04 million, leaving it $3 million short of breaking even.[136] Fox eventually recouped its investment that same year when it sold the television broadcast rights to ABC for $5 million,[137] a then-record amount paid for a single film.[138] The film ultimately earned $40.3 million in worldwide rentals from its theatrical run.[137]”

Its not a market you can realistically break into.
Shariah law is already here and has been since at least 1982 (when the Islamic Shariah Council was created). You don’t see it because it isn’t widely advertised and if you’re not a member of that community you probably wouldn’t be aware that it even existed.”
