Overview
- A chocolate bar in Manchester conference goodie bags carried the slogan "When Labour negotiates, Britian loses" alongside Kemi Badenoch's signature.
- The party said the typo was a printing error and removed the bars from remaining bags after the mistake was highlighted.
- LBC's Natasha Clark first flagged the error in a widely shared video, and opponents and social media users piled on with mockery.
- James Cleverly, questioned on camera about the blunder, called it a typo and quipped that you should never skimp on sub‑editors.
- The misstep comes as new polling shows many Conservative members doubt Badenoch should lead the party into the next election, and as a quieter conference tests her messaging strategy.
