Today is not the day to argue "oh so you want Reform to win then" as an argument for Labour's indefensible and inhumane anti-asylum policies. At least be honest and own that you're defending racist policies promoted with genuinely far right talking points. Don't try and pretend this is "progressive"

Liz Truss on Fox News supporting Trump suing the BBC
"There are lots of people in Britain who are cheering President Trump on and want him to sue the BBC"

🎥 review: The Running Man
an Edgar Wright film, with nods to Paul Verhoeven. better than the 80's Arnie version (ham central), and a solid 3.5⭐ for me. Empire got it, Total Film didn't review wise; just supposed to be entertaining, not a scathing satire, you scolds: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KD18...
