Tories set a low bar after misspelling Britain on conference chocolate

Misprinted wrappers pulled from Manchester goodie bags after derision on social media



'A chocolate bar given out by the Conservatives at their annual party conference misspelled the

“When Labour negotiates, Britian loses,” read the message, signed by Kemi Badenoch.

The chocolate bar was included in a goodie bag given out at the party’s conference in Manchester,

removed the chocolate from the bags, which also contained pictures of Rachel Reeves’s “fake CV”

Kemi’s leadership.” This slip-up comes as Badenoch tries to revive her party’s dire poll ratings.
She kicked off the annual party conference on Sunday with a speech and, breaking with convention,
will make another on Wednesday. Spelling mishaps are not the preserve of the Tory party, however.

Earlier this year, Scottish Labour misspelt the word “Scottish” in campaign leaflets for a byelection

for the Glenrothes Central and Thornton byelection Maciej Dokurno”.

Meanwhile, in 2024 the Reform UK MP Lee Anderson was referred to as “Lee Andersin” in his campaign
leaflets. Anderson appeared oblivious to the blunder as he uploaded an Instagram video of himself posting
the leaflets in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire...'
