Sorry but 19 wickets falling in a day is far too exciting. Can we bore it up a bit?

I guess I am blessed to be registered to vote in a place where the Tories (and Reform) barely scrape past 15% so don’t have to deal with the ethical implications of voting for this Labour Party…

I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

Another set of Conservatives that had the opportunity to do the right thing for the future and decided it was too hard and sold out everything for more power....
Today, the conservatives (EPP) passed a major piece of EU legislation with the far-right groups in the EU Parliament, marking the breakdown of the cordon sanitaire. The EPP, under Weber, has decided to sacrifice long-term principles and stability for short-term political gains.
