Keir Starmer on Nadhim Zahawi's defection to Reform UK:
"I don't know which is more pitiful - the flood of former Tory MPs deserting her sinking ship or the Reform Party so desperate to launder any old, failed Tory politician."

There's roughly 2 weeks or so to go for the 7 cars

It seems the right wing press is getting a bit nervous now more and more evidence is coming out about how Brexit has wrecked our economy and the polls are showing fewer and fewer people support it. Lots of "betrayal" headlines. Imagine Tice's outrage if Brexit cheerleaders were accused of "Betrayal"
