The latest Badenoch-ism

Part of Kemi Badenoch’s justification for the Tories’ suggested £36 billion welfare cuts is:

millions of people can and do contribute to our economy to their families to their communities even when they face serious challenges. Double amputees run marathons. People who are housebound do wonderful creative work from home. People with autism run some of the biggest tech companies in the world. [Emphasis mine]

. . . and people with half a brain cell run major political parties.

  • I can’t comment on the specifics without listening to the podcast. Do you have a link?

    I don’t have in depth knowledge of English political history, but I would be surprised if political historians worked backwards to link Labour with the Civil Wars, although they might work backwards to demonstrate a different point. The Labour Party wasn’t formed until the 20th century. The Levellers were a movement, not a political party, that parliament suppressed. So there is a huge gap between the two, even if there are some similarities.
