Tory Party Conference Chocolate Bar Typo Leaves Conservatives Red-Faced
The Conservative Party’s annual gathering in Manchester has taken an unexpectedly sweet yet sour turn after an embarrassing typo on a Tory Party Conference chocolate bar caused a stir both inside and outside the event halls.
Delegates attending the party’s Manchester conference received goodie bags meant to celebrate the occasion. But one treat quickly became the talk of the town.
On the wrapper of the chocolate bar, read the slogan: “When Labour negotiates, Britain loses.”
Tories want to run the country…

Yes – Britian. Not Britain. The gaffe was first spotted by LBC political editor Natasha Clark, who shared a video of the gift on social media.
“This is my favourite gift of all,” she said, pulling the items from the conference bag.
The chocolate bar even featured the signature of Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, making the typo all the more eye-catching.
“They want to run the country, but they can’t even spell ‘Britain’ right,” Clark quipped in her clip, a line that quickly went viral.
What was intended as a playful jab at Labour turned into an unintentional self-own. The Tories, already lagging behind Labour and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK in the polls, now faced a wave of online mockery.
Badenoch, however, downplayed the blunder. “I’ve heard there’s a typo on something like that, and I don’t think there’s a personally signed one from Kemi Badenoch.
“The fact is, there are many more serious questions at stake for the future of the country than something like a chocolate bar.
“The fact is the country is in a serious place, and we’re doing the hard work to set out ways to make it better.”
Still, the damage, or rather, the amusement, was done. According to Clark, the Conservative Party later blamed a “printing error” and promptly removed the faulty bars from other gift bags.
When questioned about the incident, Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Helen Whateley brushed it off, declining to make a meal out of it.
For attendees and observers alike, it was a light-hearted moment amid the heavier political speeches and policy debates, but one that also highlighted the importance of attention to detail in politics, right down to the packaging.
