Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

War in Ukraine, a rogue president in the USA, and a rise in the power of might over right. Isn't it time the UK stood firm and collaborated more assertively with friendlier nations?

Not commenting on Venezuela is one thing, but Starmer's ministers not even being willing to say "no of course the US shouldn't invade a peaceful sovereign democratic NATO country, which is one of our closest allies" is quite another.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

If only folk could see the real culprits instead of blaming minority groups.
There is one overriding political problem, from which all others follow. Until it is addressed, every policy advanced by governments is window dressing.

This audience was making reasonable, intelligent comment. Their main issue was the divisiveness of Reform's rhetoric. Dorries comment just serves to highlight this. We need to start working towards unity.
