Naturally 6M news asked Reform (what...5 MPs?) about the budget. Naturally Tice trashed it.
No idea what, the LDs (72 MPs) think.

I felt like, worst case scenario, there would be a "cottage industry" for Human Made (like how vinyl is thriving) but I think there's probably a much better scenario now, the more people see the slop.

The number one question for Reform voters needs to be "how do you hope to pay for more expensive and infinitely less available healthcare?" Because the NHS can't exist under these conditions. My guess is an older, less wealthy electorate also much more dependent on free healthcare.

What I find pretty awful is you can sense that his first thought is something like "I will look weak next to this other old person who has a medical emergency, so I had better stand up straight and ignore it."
Which is pretty despicable.

That and the fact that there is a huge disparity of so much between international cities and smaller towns/countryside.
“London and New York, two of the west’s largest, richest, and most diverse cities are now run by Muslim men, both of them elected on the ticket of left wing, pro-LGBT, pro-multicultural parties…The victory is a reminder of the fundamental weakness of Trumpism, Faragism, and the politics of hate.”
