Regarding the UK steel industry, in an extraordinary debate, how can she tell Jonathan Reynolds that she left a deal for the new (Labour) government to use; that they reneged (sic) on this deal; and then when asked what was the deal, she says that negotiations were ongoing? She also says that the snap election (called by her party) got in the way. How big a car crash is this for Badenoch? Her policy of avoiding interviews, just putting out shouty soundbites on twitter does not survive contact with the slightest challenge. Clever politics by Starmer to force the Tories and Reform into : will they vote to support bailing out the steel plant or not.

She’s just a horrible person. There’s no way she will be leader at the next election.
That can’t be right, it was only a few months ago she was telling us the Conservatives were going to rebuild our trust by telling the truth! Sadly, I think her telling us that she’ll tell the truth was simply more populism: https://www.conservatives.com/news/kemi-rebuilding-trust-speech
The tories acting manager got caught in a lie? I can’t get enthusiastic enough to care. They were a rubbish government and now they are a rubbish opposition party. She is a placeholder who will be replaced before the next election anyway.
It could be that she left what she thought was a complete deal, but was in reality a note on the back of a fag packet….
Not so much a lie (in the traditional sense), more like a completely clueless understanding of anything. She just claimed she had a better deal…it just wasn’t written down, discussed, no details recorded and she can’t explain any aspect of it now for…reasons.
Rather than “I’m better than labour at this”, she was better off keeping quiet. Let the newspapers attack labour for nationalising etc.
Completely hopeless leader. It’s so funny. Can’t wait for jenrick and his implosion too.
It’s definitely not a lie in the sense that she’ll be being forced to clarify, or apologise. I’d say it’s more her typical brand of overconfidence and exaggeration. There probably was the framework of a deal and Labour probably didn’t follow up on it, but it’ll almost certainly end up not being anything like she said. In order to get caught out lying in parliament, you have to prove it’s both clear and intentional and this just doesn’t meet the criteria.
Reform on the other hand has consistently called for the nationalisation of British steel since the party formed. They were quite literally wearing save our steel badges in parliament during this debate, so not seeing how this forces them to do anything other than saying Labour is dragging its feet.
At least she is better than the previous 3.
Honestly I think she doesn’t know what she’s talking about a lot of the time. She gets given things to read out but doesn’t know any detail behind anything, which is why she flounders at the very slightest pressing on anything she says.
