This is a Brexit fallout that is enraging, deeply undemocratic and damaging for the whole country.
Tories, Reform and Labour have all decided that their stereotype of the brexity social conservative red wall voter is the *only* voter worth bothering with. The rest of us can go to hell.

It is genuinely astounding how Reform, Labour and the Tories have decided to fight tooth-and-nail for the votes of the same 30-35 percent of the electorate and completely ignore everyone else.
Badenoch's strategic genius on full display here, telling centrist voters to fuck off, including in the 60+ seats the party lost to the Lib Dems, so she can focus on competing with an extreme right party ahead of her in the polls.

MAGA is ICE. ICE murdered Alex Pretti, a VA nurse, on the street in Minneapolis. They did it for him exercising his constitutionally guaranteed rights.

Family of Alex Pretti, who was shot dead in Minneapolis today, releases statement:
"The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs."

Starmer maybe rightly doesn’t take bait each time but he needs an outrider - a semi-licensed “off message” attack dog - to make Haw-Haw Farage pay for sucking up to the guy who denigrates British war dead.
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

Apologies to decent Americans but your president is a dangerous lunatic. Trust me, coming from the UK where we have had a fair share of dodgy PM’s in recent years…..we know one when we see one. 🙂
