But we'll welcome former Tories Jonathan Gullis, Danny Kruger, Lee Anderson, Nadine Dorries, Ann Widdecombe, Lucy Allen, Jake Berry - the former chair of the Tories, for God's sake - Andrea Jenkyns, Maria Caufield, Lia Nici ... 20 of them so far.
They should never be forgiven. Except those ones.

A reminder that London is far safer than many major cities, that crime is falling and that racists hate both these truths because they undermine their vicious little divisive narrative.
Multiculturalism works. London works. And those who hate both things hate themselves most of all.

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million
In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.
London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.
And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

Do not forget that Trump said back in 2023 that he would overthrow Maduro and take his oil.
It was part of his speech at the NC Republican Convention in Greensboro.
Trump wants a right-wing government in Venezuela that will give their oil to his corp thugs for pennies.
Drugs is just the bs excuse

Labour were broken a long time ago.
Time to replace them with a party that actually represents everyone - not just the billionaires.
A party that rejects Reform - rather than copies them.

Before the next election I’d expect 50% of the 114 MP’s to have defected to Reform, sad to say this but unless the Labour Party wake up they are on the same trajectory. We need progressive policies now, not more Tory lite shit if we are to avoid a Reform government
