The election of St Peter as Bishop of Rome was more rigged against the Emperor Tiberius than when the Senate refused to vote to confer divine honours on him. Also what he got up to on his private island is none of your business - Stephanus Bannon

Given the English electorate's record for clear thinking over the last 10 years I expect Reform to romp home.
I'm writing about Reform's chances in the Denton and Gorton by-election - and what impact Matthew Goodwin's selection may have on Reform's voice and agenda.

So four matches but the only one not mentioned in the headline is Everton's. Good job I'm not as paranoid about their coverage of us as some supporters.

Of course Starmer has made mistakes but his mistakes didn't cost 20,000 lives, destroy our public services, leave our armed forces living in squalid housing, make us a laughing stock on the global stage and ruin our relationship with the EU. 14 years of misrule can't be fixed in 19 months.

Perhaps she will discover irony next.
