#Latest news with #politicalgaffeTimes17-05-2025PoliticsTimesKemi Badenoch fails geography testGeography isn't Kemi Badenoch's strong suit it seems. Speaking at the Welsh Conservative conference in Llangollen on Friday, she said it was 'wonderful to meet so many MSPs'. Of course they were sitting a couple of hundred miles away in Holyrood. At least last year when Badenoch introduced Ben Houchen as the newly re-elected Conservative mayor for 'Tyne Tees' (rather than Tees Valley) she was only 45 miles off the mark. 'Why is nobody listening to the Tories?', a Labour source quipped to the Huffington Post after the gaffe. 'Answers on a postcard … although I suspect Badenoch would send her answers to the wrong address.' Even for government ministers it's sometimes hard to tell whether the system is out to get you or just
