It does spell bad news for Labour, in the sense that much of their current messaging revolves around the demonstrably false premise that a vote for anyone other than them is a vote for Reform.

Funnily enough, I didn't feel like cooking last night, so I went for a takeaway. I vacillated for a while between the kebab shop and the chippy, but decided I was in the mood for fish and chips. It's nice to have a choice.

There needs to be a League of Extraordinary Coburns where this guy, Major Easy, Slippery Jim di Griz et al team up against Galaxy.

It's a sign of the times that when I look at that Norman Rockwell painting now, I automatically assume that dude is about to deliver a lecture on how vaccines cause autism.
