The United Kingdom’s Conservative Party embarrassingly botched the spelling of “Britain” on a chocolate bar that was given away in a goodie bag at its annual party conference in Manchester, England.
LBC political editor Natasha Clark flagged the typo in a video shared on social media. “This is my favorite gift of all,” she said in the clip, while pulling items from the bag. See here. The bar of chocolate featured the slogan: “When Labour negotiates, Britian loses,” she pointed out.
The sweet treat was signed by the current leader of the opposition Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch. She was elected to the role in November 2024 to replace former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who resigned after the party’s loss to Labour in the July general election.
“They want to run the country, but they can’t even spell ‘Britain’ right,” Clark quipped in the clip about conservatives, who trail in the polls to Labour and Donald Trump’s longtime ally Nigel Farage’s Reform UK.
Per a later post from Clark, the party blamed a “printing error” and removed the bars from other goodie bags.
