Delaying these mayoral elections is a disgrace. Democracy delayed is democracy denied.
We are fighting to end this blatant stitch up and give millions of people their vote back in May.

So that one achievement that Starmer can point to for all the grovelling to fuhrer Trump looks like it was utterly worthless.

Liberal Democrat MPs have today tabled a motion in Parliament to remove Robbie Gibb from the BBC Board.
Robbie Gibb was appointed by Boris Johnson, he was an editorial adviser to GB News and a director of communications for Theresa May. He is not neutral or impartial.

twitter being bought and turned into a propaganda machine for fascism, which is directly pumped into every journalist in the world's brain, is one of the worst things to happen in the last few years. we might not survive it.

If the sandwich don't split, you must acquit.
The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.
"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.
"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.
