I want everyone who said they couldn't vote for Harris, because her policies didn't go far enough in one or several areas, and concluded "they're all the same", to make themselves a little scrapbook over the next four years.

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP.
It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next.

One option being urged is for the PM (or the King) to set up an independent commission to look at governance of the Church.
Unlikely Parliament would reverse 1919 Act that took control of governance out of its hands, but at this rate many feel something significant is needed.
