Tories through the looking glass.

Thatcher is Tory Jesus, except he came back to life and went to Heaven.

The only people who see Thatcher as a genius all live south of Peterborough.

Well Andy Burnham is UK resident at least and pays his taxes here. He drinks the water here and swims in the water here, so has a vested interest in quality standards. If Andy Burnham ran a water company he wouldn't have to pay share-holders dividends. Tell us the advantage of foreign owners?

Hard to decide if this woman is a fantasist, an ignoramus or a liar. Or maybe they’re not mrually exclusive

It was a resounding success, for shareholders…

An honest answer from Badenock would have been that water companies are dumping raw sewage because it is cheaper than treating it and because their treatment plants lack the capacity or maintenance to handle normal daily volumes. Shareholders win while the environment suffers.

Yeah quite ....... Except it's great management by the companies - for their shareholders of course. The fact they are monopolies means we as consumers have no power or influence at all. To misquote an old adage, "it's the operational model stupid!"

Thatcher Sold off what already belonged to the Public. The wealth of our Resources all now abroad owned by foreigner’s who take the money & run. Do reinvest or care, why the uk is in the such a poor state.

It's not worked so far has it ? Badenoch has neither the imagination nor the ideas to fix any of this. It was Thatcherite dogma that landed us here in the first place. Proclaiming yourself as the heir to Thatcher therefore won't persuade people who've lived with this rubbish for decades.

It's her self belief that is so funny, she's such a ridiculous individual

Worth a look datahq.sas.org.uk/sewage-data-...

Or indeed; news.stv.tv/highlands-is...

Badenoch is an intellectual light weight. Let’s face it she’d be out of her depth on a damp sidewalk.

She is SO deluded...

It's almost as if Scotland has been right not to vote Tory over the last 70 years.

Thick does not cut it

They even apply the same logic to their 2010-2024 governments. "We were the very best choice to run the country but we just didn't do it properly!"

It's true that nationalisation might not mean better managed water, but it takes back revenues from shareholders to reinvest in the system and gives us back democratic control.

Was that the gaslighting siren going off there?

I couldn't believe what she said yesterday, she was asked about her support of remaining in the EU 10 years ago, now she's an ardant brexiter. She said she was following the party line, doesn't really say much about her convictions.

I hope Tories keep this idiot until the end. She is so stupid. Or purposefully stupid. Either or it works for me. Currently she’s kinda keeping under the radar with her bollacks. Wait until she has to make more noise. 🤣

Well some rich people got even richer and that’s the Tory definition of a policy success.

Surely we can just visit a water market company comparison website and select the best provider for our area based on price and service? Isn't that how markets work? 🤣

So answer this if youre bad enough. Is not tje problem that the bosses of these (privatised) water companies spent all the profits on dividends and did not invest in the infrastructure as they originally said they would? It that is NOT the problem, explain what the problem is. In simple language.

It isn't just our waterways that are "full of shit".

Deluded.

Tories; for the wealthy and big business first and foremost. Blah blah self made/ working class platitudes/ warm words to be repeated by torygraph/ times/ ipaper/ bbc

What a fuckwit.

She is deluded.

It’s quite amazing!

Bad-Enoch is simply a facade; a dim, self obsessed person, desperately trying to convince the World how clever she thinks she is!!

'...a shining example of moral leprosy...' (Nabokov)

NEVER TRUST A TORY

Ha, straight out of the RW playbook, Brexit wasn’t a failure it just wasn’t implemented correctly, same old rubbish

Absolutely!

Send this person back to school.

She's an idiot.

Notice that the BBC is choosing not to make much of this reveal of her warped thinking, preferring instead to cover the Tories idiotic Britannia Shield nonsense.

We need to keep in mind she also thought Brexit was a success when she was in government so she may not have the best judgement! www.gov.uk/government/p...

Like happened here, there should be a siren sounded every time a politician makes an obvious lie.

Even she knows that she's talking shit.

Of course it was a success, for some, just not customers or our environment. 🤔

But the tories cut the environmental agency to shreds and allowed the water companies to self refer ... if govt implemented their own regulations then perhaps just perhaps the companies might do a better job

Privatization of Water was a roaring success ... it was money for nothing for the investors, year on year collecting the money from council tax, and water Levey charges while not investing in upgrade of the system they are even trying to force water meters on us too www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-E6...

One day her brain is going to get round to reviewing all the shit her mouth has been saying and whoo boy.

Privatisation was, and continues to be, an unmitigated disaster for the people of this country, and it is only pride and ego that prevents Badenoch from accepting this. If she cannot be honest about this blatant fallacy, how can we trust her with running the country? What a sausage she is.

For WHO though? if you go from the view of those that bought it, yeah, very successful as they made a fortune and walked away billions in debt that we'll end up paying for, as ALWAYS, so I guess it depends on your viewpoint, and I'm guessing she's a stake holder and made bank, so, "successful" .

If there was one or 2 which were badly run then yeah, she could have a point... But theyve all been run somewhere between badly and absolutely atrociously and they're not getting any better. That is the opposite of a success

She can't even be honest about that. So what hope is there for the Tory party?

Who was that stupid cow on Radio 5 this morning who thought the Sun shone out of Badenoch's arse? "She's literally going to save the country". What a load of unadulterated bollocks. Usual right wing rhetorical style of course - shouting, interrupting, insults. Badenoch is just a shit Thatcher.

She’s this person from Catch-22.

Proof that sometimes a turd can rise to the top

She really is so very stupid. The water companies are so bad because they are so very profit motivated and they know how weak the regulation is. All down to privatisation.

And had the Tories not instigated the Leave referendum, the EU would have continued its prosecution of the UK Government for its failures under the Water Framework Directive to stop utilities polluting for shareholder profit and the lack of investment in protecting the environment. #NeverTrustATory

Badenough hasn't a clue, about anything.

Gormless. Dim. Thick as two short planks. A few sandwiches short of a picnic. Thats what she thinks of us.

Please keep this woman where she is, it’s the greatest weapon Labour has.

Thick as mince

Should have been a property ombudsman.

She is Liz Truss Mk2!!!

I always think journalists miss a trick Eurosceptic Tories call Thatcher a genius that they don't follow up with a question about her support for joining the EU.

What really annoys me is not that she’s stupid, but the contempt. “I know that you know I’m talking shit but the idiots that believe me will never listen to you because we’ve spent 20 years telling them we’re as stupid as they are and they don’t need clever people telling them what to do. Smug face.

Privatisation was only a success for shareholders and CEOs.

One just can’t trust Kemi to be PM if she can’t answer simple questions So evasive

If you read Laura Kuntsberg's article about Badenoch for the BBC after interviewing her you'll not believe what you're reading. She's got her head right up this stupid woman's backside. Badenoch really is as stupid as it gets.

Reminds of Merz. Out of touch, vastly overestimates their own ability, very prickly when challenged, not dealing with the threat from the right.

Was the siren in the background the gaslighting alarm?

Well it's certainly successful for the shareholders who made literally billions since Thatcher privatised everything. Not so much for us poor sods paying them their massive dividends through outrageously inflated prices,for a piss poor service. And we're supposed to be grateful for it?

She's really very odd, isn't she?

She's thicker than a week-old bowl of Quaker Oats.

She's an idiot!..

Or simply Thick !

She’s thicker than thick!

Who cares what she or any other Tory says anymore? They are the most irrelevant opposition there's probably ever been.

That looks like a piss-take account.

It was a success for her pals, and that's what matters. 🙄

Poor Kemi is stuck in an ideology trap of her own making. Brexit, Privatisation, Environment Agency… Meanwhile Burnham has moved on to real world problems, real world solutions.

The irony of an emergency vehicle alarm in the background says it all!!!!
