The Tories have found themselves in an embarrassing situation after they sent out promotional material misspelling the name of the country they are hoping to lead.
The Conservative party annual conference is currently taking place and for part of the proceedings, the party attempted to send out some sweet treats to get people onside.
The chocolate bars feature a message from leader Kemi Badenoch, but with ‘Britain’ spelled incorrectly.
Her signed chocolate bar, handed out to journalists and supporters for free, reads: ‘When Labour negotiates, Britian loses.’
A Labour source, gleefully told the Metro: “Yet another Tory Flake. They can’t proofread five words on a bar of chocolate. This conference really isn’t proving to be the Boost Kemi needs.”
The error was spotted by LBC reporter Natasha Clark, who took to social media to point it out. Writing on X, Clark said: “Tories want to run the country… Can’t spell it.”
She said a Tory party spokesman dismissed the misspelling as nothing more than a ‘printer error’ to her.
Tories want to run the country...

Kemi Badenoch had previously told LBC: she “never has gaffes”.
In an interview with the broadcaster she said: “I never have gaffes. Or apologising for something that I said. Or that’s not what I meant. I never have to clarify because I think very carefully about what I have to say.”
Shadow Work Secretary Helen Whately was quick to downplay the blunder in an interview with Sky News.
She said: “I’ve heard there’s a typo on something like that. It’s not personally signed.
“The fact is there are much more serious questions at stake for the future of our country than a message on a chocolate bar.
“The fact is our country is in a serious place and we are doing the hard work set out the way to make it better.”
"There are much more serious questions at stake."
