It is interesting that Jeremy Corbyn has been an MP for 42 years and led the opposition for 5 years.

He's been on Question Time once.

Nigel Farage, 44 times.

Our Media is corrupt, corrupt to the core.

The press is 'Trumpant' (variation on 'Triumphant) this morning. It is surely the Yahoo, together with Ben Hur and Snotrich who holds the cards. Where's that Palestinian state?

Guess who was "President" on January 6?

I'll tell you cos you don't have 2 brain cells to rub together. Hope the "advanced imagery" was a Brain MRI.

It was YOU, DJT. Pffft 🖕

McSweeney is the Éminence Ginge behind the Forensic Throne, the architect of the Starmer landslide.

Wonderful exposition here of the maleficent cluelessness of both parts of our ruling pol-hackistoracy.
Labour, despite all the evidence, pandering to potential Reform defectors
