One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.
When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE

Love this, can Reform get anymore morally bankrupt.
Everything is done in the pursuit of power, whereupon they will try to replicate what Trump is doing in the US. I struggle to see how anyone can get onboard with that. Full of failed Tories trying to get back into power to screw us over again

Suella Braverman’s parents emigrated (those horrible economic migrants not from a war zone she hates).
She went to Cambridge for free and didn’t collect £27k debt like everyone else. Scrounger.
She used the Erasmus scheme to study in France. Which she has blocked.
Horrible.

I was in Helmand with UK troops. Draft dodging Trump's words are a gut punch to those killed
Donald Trump has claimed NATO troops stayed "a little off the front lines" in Afghanistan. It's hard to know whether he's ignorant or just doesn't really care.
