What’s happened here is: these horrible people deliberately fucked over every man, woman and child in these islands, entirely to benefit their own worthless careers. Now, they are going to go down in history as maybe Britain’s most reviled government. And you have to say, they have 100% earned it.

While next May's elections in Wales, Scotland and across England - where Labour are on course for another drubbing - are still seen as the most likely time for the PM to be removed, a growing number now believe he may not even see in the New Year in Downing Street.
"I think people are now in a place where they believe this can't continue and we can't go into massive midterm elections with him in charge," one insider told HuffPost UK.

lol.

A warning has been issued after fake letters were posted through letterboxes, claiming people would have to house refugees if they flew St George's flag.
The letter said that "patriotic" households displaying the country's flag will temporarily house refugees because ‘we know you would be proud to assist your country’.

Got to say I'm surprised banning Ninja Swords wasn't enough for Labour in Caerphilly.

Brilliant..I've been critical of Arnie but he posts this brillant article (i hadn't seen it). Superb journalism from Will Hayward. He's second to none on Welsh politics.

Put off paying your bills for the sake of the economy.

The UK government is considering rowing back on planned legislation that shortens payment times for small suppliers after lobbying from big businesses, which warn that a squeeze on their cash flow would harm investment in the economy.

Plaid have won a massive victory in the Caerphilly by-election beating Reform comfortably.

The Labour vote has totally collapsed.

It seems that in Caerphilly more people feared those who oppose immigration than the immigrants themselves.
