Just like we are now seeing now in the UK, the incumbent "progressive" party has to have it explained to it that trying to appeal to conservative voters is not a winning strategy...

Badenoch is utterly disgusting.
People are still traumatised from losing loved ones during the pandemic and not even being able to hold their hand or say goodbye in person, but that fucking moron says she is traumatised by having to wear a face mask.
What an absolute horror of a human being.

All Starmer has are insults - as his performances at PMQs regularly demonstrate.
How on earth he was ever good enough an advocate to be appointed QC (KC) beggars belief...

Big talk from the PM of vibes based cruelty and trickle down cowardice.

I'm guessing the Stewards didn't think they could pull off another "2021" and gift the world championship to Verstappen again, this time by penalising Norris for being forced off by the Red Bull clown car that was weaving all over the place.

I may have to watch Polanski v Yusuf: the rematch. I never usually bother with BBCQT these days...
Update: Apologies I was due to be on Have I got News for You this week. We've now postponed until 2026.
To go on Question Time and speak up for migrants right now feels vital.

I just hope Reform voters wake up and realise that they are basically voting "New Tory".
Two more Conservative MP rejects hop over to Reform UK. Jonathan Gullis and Lia Nici.
More and more, Reform UK looks simply as if the Tories ran off stage, then came back on two minutes lates, wearing a comedy moustache-and-glasses disguise. ~AA

The right wing blamed high public spending (necessitated by years of Tory neglect) for causing a global financial crisis, and now they have the barefaced cheek to call for Reeves to resign for "lying" about the state of public finances. 1/2

Good to hear Rachel Reeves finally attack the 2 child benefit cap - but if Labour were so much against it, why’s it taken them so long to scrap it? And why were Labour MPs suspended for saying *exactly* the same last year? There’s no moral high ground here #budget2025

Everything that is wrong with the so-called "Union" is summed up in one sentence on the Welsh news:
"Wales is set to get more money due to higher NHS spending in England."
England has new money allocated based on its needs. Wales, Scotland & NI's don't, we get a proportion of what England needs.
