Some Tories, after 14 years in power…
…are saying nothing now works in the UK.
So they’re joining Reform, so they can complain about the Tory record - and you can vote them right back in, in a few years’ time, under new anti-Tory branding.

These two are the crackpots currently demanding senior police resign for being in cahoots with radical Islamists. The guy on the left was one of the key figures in an absurd all-channels national panic about The Muslims taking over jihadifying schools. Do we see what is happening here?

No one has the balls to tell Shitler that his ideas stink as much as he does... They aren't financially viable and makes no good common sense. I guess that's why he's been through bankruptcy so many times.

I think this is very poorly misunderstood. The reason why the 'the UK, a dangerous crimehole' stuff matters is that people in other countries who might invest in the UK see it online and believe it, not because the electoral constituency for it is particularly large or significant.
When we look at satisfaction with policing (I know, not the same as perceptions of crime, but hopefully helpful proxy) and crime rates in Police Force Areas, there is a clear link (interactive maps here tinyurl.com/c56jbcwc). And our Issues Index has concern with crime relatively low. ...

A war where the US invades a European territory, thus triggering Article 5, thus putting NATO countries at war with another NATO country.
Who would benefit from that?
