[@Thvndar]

This has been 20 minutes of her complaining about problems that don't exist and, acting as though there's something wrong with people who want a living wage, and speaking as though the Conservatives haven't been in government for years

[@royboy565]

They've been in govt but haven't governed just ruined.

[@michaelmorgan9289]

I don't believe Reeves attended the Tory Party conference.

[@carolynekershaw1652]

13 years of omnishambolic farce

[@0000dear]

To be fair, the country was ruined when they took over. It's took 13 years to get this far. We can't let labour take us back there. Stand up and fight 😂😂😂😂 Beat the woke. Stand up and fight....watch o brien clutch his pearls

[@spos6893]

Did she sniff glue before getting up?

[@Vince-um5nq]

She for sure did a line of coke before going on stage 😂

[@Uno-1968]

They dont stand up to bullies , they ARE bullies .

[@grantandphil]

This is why I would never touch cocaine.

[@NickRothman1980]

'We are not for returning!' Yeah, please don't. EVER!

[@joehill7837]

YOU CAN'T TRUST THE TORIES

[@joelpacini6067]

When you realise it was a conservative government throughout the entirety of the 1980s...

[@dm32904]

when all our industry went down the drain

[@CEO786]

The closest penny will come to becoming PM is her initials

[@stevenlynas8930]

She seems a bit mad to me!

[@Jim90117]

Why does the Conservative party act like they haven't been in power for 13 years. If defending all that you've achieved in society is what your goal is, then I want no part of that.

[@markd1516]

"We are the party and country that welcomed Russian oligarchs to invest tax free in the London property market."

[@jessmichael866]

Humility, integrity, honesty , empathy. Words meaningless to a number of tories. Britain is in trouble.

[@money5434]

Mycroft (Sherlock Holme's brother) would say: "Simply reverse everything they have said and that is the truth". What a pathetic spectacle of intelligence insulting comedy!

[@MrDavey2010]

Is she bonkers?

[@glenponder592]

Is she high?

[@tobylerone4285]

I hope so, one shouldn’t be able to achieve that state without large quantities of psychoactives

[@uk6496]

Where's the sick bag.

[@TheKarsino]

That 'stand up and fight' rant was hilarious. I think that Penny got her conference speech mixed-up with her audition for the Pompey players next am-dram show. The gullible and hard of thinking though with of course love it. 😆

[@neilfazackerley7758]

she is weird.

[@dm32904]

i think she had just seen tory boy hagues speech from 1983 and just wanted to do one better

[@user-oi6ln4eq7b]

It's a popular belief that Potty Penny forgot her lines in a fit of stage-fright and just got stuck on the word "fight!"......ad nauseam.

[@user-oi6ln4eq7b]

He had a glossy head of hair, in them days. Just show's what happens if you take politics too seriously.

[@JOEFABULOUS.]

One trip to the hairdressers away from the full Thatcher bouffant

[@TheOneUK1111]

The whole country will stand up and laugh at this comic show. I think she wanted this to be remembered as an epic speech in years to come.... So epic because it's flippin hilarious!! 🤣🤣

[@user-oi6ln4eq7b]

I think she watched the film "Darkest Hour" and decided "that's me that is. Winston Churchill with a sprinkling of Mrs Thatcher. Yesssssss!"

[@belindathorne9784]

insane

[@BillOdyssey]

Unhinged

[@antonysloan6110]

Yeah this one is on another planet

[@Arinbjorn1989]

What the hell was she doing? This whole thing was completely mental. It's like a 10 year old wrote that speech straight after watching avengers endgame.

[@stevewhiteba]

Oh my god! I thought she was a rare sensible tory. Wrong again!

[@timsimmons5953]

After 13 years this is the Tory economic mess. She just has to raise a war card when ever she speaks.

[@matthewprince9705]

Surprised she didn't have her uniform on with the epaulets, a helmet and a rifle slung over her shoulder 🪖

[@shaun4443]

The turning point is that you'll never be in power again! 🤦‍♂🤦‍♂ I had high hopes for you Penny, what a disappointment and what are you talking about? Hahaha

[@TimesFM4532]

That would work if labour actually where proposing which they aren’t

[@AlbionToArcadia]

Like a female Will from the Inbetweeners x Delia Smith at Norwich trying to communicate with the working class. God this is cringy

[@stuartwilson1190]

The last bit of that speech is one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever heard

[@johnmorris3894]

The only explanation for this level of crazy is that she's launching her alternative leadership bid to Braverman's

[@robtyman4281]

Yea, agree. Both her speech, and Braverman's felt like leadership rehearsal speeches. They spoke inwards to their own party - not outwards, to people in the street. Neither put forward any real solutions to problems, or discussed new ideas. Both were just long, incoherent and rants, designed for the ears of Tory party members only. How sad has the UK become? That we have a government who offers nothing new, but just wants to keep on playing different groups against each other, while watching from the sidelines. This the mark of a country that is spent. A very desperate, sad, and angry country that seeks to blame others for the problems they themselves have caused.

[@PsychedelicGoo]

Yes! Stand up and fight for our freedom to protest and our freedom to strike.... oh, no, not freedom for the ordinary people... she means freedom for corporations. Mad.

[@rorrt]

Back to the eighties... When YOU were in power. Thought that's what they want?

[@thomasdolan2244]

That just embarrassing.

[@MrTonydrew]

to be honest regardless of your politics most people SHOULD find this embarrassing ... but there will still be that group of blue sheeples who will be lapping it up

[@ruthcollins2841]

Morbid - go & fight for Zelenskyy in Ukraine!🤬

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

The bankers and the political donors that you obey have said otherwise.

[@mickmaphari6606]

I don't know about 'Stand up and fight!' But it sure was good Stand Up Comedy! I hope she went and had a little lie down after her little rant ...

[@ysjmichael]

Great speech as class practice material - fluffy, empty, difficult to put a finger on, thank you!

[@urbanimage]

The Conservatives have gone quite bonkers.

[@HH-xd5zi]

Crackhead energy

[@petermallette4144]

It's nice to see there's still freedom of speech so we can listen to some good quality bs

[@marcomancini1044]

Oh gosh Penelope has taken out the sword ! 🤣

[@TomUK7]

And fallen on it?!

[@kassaArt]

If we are all standing up together, who are we fighting.. and freedom.. is that what brexit has given us? Freedom of movement for everyone else.. hmmm.

[@jeffsmith3392]

Don't tell me how better GDP is or the national debt is falling when I'm now £400 out of pocket every month. I'll be staying home come the GE. Come what may.

[@DavidJohnGriffin]

"We are not for returning" - what, to government? Oh, good.

[@TheBOFAcookie]

Nearly 2,400 people have died since being deemed fit for work by DWP assessors, new figures show. Department for Work and Pensions statistics show that between December 2011 and February 2014 some 2,380 people died after work capability assessments (WCAs) judged them able to work. Thank Russia and Watson Watt;s radar, 8.7 million military and 19 million Russian civilians died in a land battle that dwarfed WW1 . Germany sustained 5.3 million military losses, mostly on the Eastern Front, Germans that clearly could not wage war on Brittan. All the Empire declared war on Germany the same or the next day.

[@alandraper7901]

So you're a benefits spunger supporter then. Finding a reason why people shouldn't work. The mind boggles.

[@DC-jk9ts]

Those excess deaths aren’t going away Penny!

[@unconventionalideas5683]

Tory mayhem hath no end, rather like hell…

[@glen6463]

She’s more medicated than my uncle Ralph and he’s on Tramadol and Stella for his bulging disc.

[@FITZYIS]

i think she`s here to make a SPLASH !

[@hawkeize]

Thankyou Penny for giving me the passion to fight on through times of adversity ❤ Fight the good fight

[@moirahyde750]

You are the bullies

[@jeffsmith3392]

Pinocchio was less wooden than her!

[@Royboy50]

Is this stand up comedy ,they’re all comedians

[@timsimmons5953]

Thatcher would have sorted this cabal out long ago.

[@aposteriori421]

This is the cringiest damn monologue I’ve heard this year. Imagine her practicing and thinking this is gonna be great.

[@stevejohnson4111]

Truly bonkers

[@Paul-th3ul]

She is as mad as Liz Truss

[@ianbrown_]

Shocking …Totally delusional 💥

[@dolceanstar]

Buckfast Tonic Wine talking from the look of her! Only thing missing was her Poundland costume.

[@peterlinfield8707]

Penny Dreadful.

[@Dark_Bandon]

After a few lines of top quality nose candy Penny Mordor rambles about Labour instead of laying out plans to fix the Britain broken by the Tories.

[@royboy565]

Tories are good at breaking things no good at fixing them.

[@Thvndar]

@@royboy565 And then complaining that Labour isn;t fixing the problems they created fast enough

[@royboy565]

​@@ThvndarAnd when labour have to spend billions to fix said problems the tories moan about spending money. Mind you this time the tories have excelled themselves, austerity for 13 years, ravaged public services and racked up a record debt of 2.65 trillion. Even before covid it was a record debt of over a trillion. Tories good with money my arse!

[@djsteep7463]

12:28 she’s had a few jaw swings 😂

[@user-yd6sj3pe4j]

I never ever been back stabber but stand for my rights no matter who you are ?

[@susansantapola]

What an absolutely bizarre rant. Sounded like something from the nuremburg rallies. The Tories t have gone completely off the edge now, the speeches were filled with hatred just vile. Get them out ASAP.

[@SuperStevestan]

in that case - lets see them tackle the 10% rise in excess deaths in Parliament this month.

[@michaelmorgan9289]

How many people or MP's have died in Parliament this month? Surely it would have been on the BBC & in the Guardian.

[@uksubversion]

Isn't that the woman who carries around a Disney sword on special occasions?

[@ennbee2051]

Yeah stand up and fight for freedom. The freedom to take the taxpayers money for themselves.

[@mickymillersson4376]

I preferred her carrying the sword

[@deanmusgrave4644]

crazy woman

[@carolineroosyogaforhealtha1948]

Absolutely bonkers

[@overcompensation5354]

Platitudes. It's too late. She should have been the leader but it's just too late.

[@darrenpearce6617]

I like the man shaking his head at 14:39 when she talks of Sir Keirmit Starmer as a lefty. Starmer's left like Henry the Eighth.

[@mrjones1696]

She seems to have the same script writer as Kamala Harris and that isn't a good thing.

[@heinkle1]

You’ve been in power 13 years and can only criticise the Labour Party? There is no track record and no vision for the future. It’s time to go.

[@Esta-Beed]

Comedy gold 😂

[@marti2474]

"Starmer would say anything...." Pot, meet kettle!

[@joehill7837]

Roll on the general election

[@earnestequivocation6250]

Did she forget her lines at the end or wash she trying to make Liz Truss look good?! Bloody bizarre!

[@Boobooglueable]

That was so boring except for the last bit that also did not make any sense ......C R A P ! 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅 lay off the sherry

[@simonbertioli4696]

Sadly she is waffling on about her vision of history... whether correct or not... She is part of the rusting chain that exists in politics today.. Tell us something new...but no.. Sorry Tories....and l was a Tory....but not with this group. She talks about investing...but all at a price...your pockets

[@georgeparis7675]

Clap trap...vile tory 😂😂😂😂😂

[@russelllazenby4435]

Blimey. She's overdone her medication again.

[@jasperherr8694]

It's no doubt she's Liz Truss's best friend.

[@jamesjenner8159]

What about the democratic rights of Scotland and Cymru (Wales) to self determination and freedom from occupation? A union that was imposed upon us!

[@davidarnold4598]

It’s better with the sound turned off , much better .

[@Mike_5]

Isn't stopping the Northern Leg of HS2 turning Penny or would you like an appropriate adult to explain to you what that means?

[@vincescotian8083]

In the white room with black curtains near the station Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes Dawn light smiles on you leaving, my contentment I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves - They will finish HS2 wont they?

[@filmneek]

I think she killed her leadership bid dead in the water with this disastrous speech.

[@dean8282]

Stand up and fight... you've been in charge 13 years... Stand up and fight... what are your policies.... Stand up and fight... nurse!

[@Dark_Bandon]

I'm definitely voting Labour next time round. After 13 years of failure , enough is enough. Time for a change of government.

[@mervyit]

So you are going to vote...Labour? 😂 Pull the other one. Starmer couldn't even produce a coherent way of managing the illegal migration invasion - offered an agreement with the EU as an alternative that would see 100s.of thousands more illegal migrants settled here than we already take and then backtracked 😂 Both parties are a disaster but Labour will be the party that finally breaks the country.

[@marmadukewinterbotham2599]

A leap in the dark just for the sake of it??

[@rrstows3522]

​@@marmadukewinterbotham2599no for a better Briton . The Tories have just taken and taken and give back crumbs and let the country sink

[@huflungdung9334]

​@marmadukewinterbotham2599 would you rather stay in it with this lot? Literally anyone would be better.

[@mervyit]

​@@rrstows3522... for a better 'Britain'. Did you recently arrive on a dinghy by any chance and want Labour in so the rest of your family can invade Britain?

[@johnnyworzel3741]

How peculiar.

[@Royboy50]

Take a tip from tebbit ,on yer bike

[@OldGreyMulletTest]

"Great, yeah, thanks for coming to the amateur dramatics audition. Have you acted before? No? Ok - we'll (not) be in touch."

[@royboy565]

Labour have no worries if ever she became leader... No worries at all.

OOOOOOH!! PHEW ! QUEEN BODICEA ?? OR JOAN OF ARC ??? COMES TO ONES MIND !!!!!! FROM, U.K. (2023).

Things are getting desperate for the Tories. I'm surprised The Sun is still going !
