It must have been a charitable donation because it sure as hell wasn't for his footballing ability.

What about his significant parliamentary majority or the damage the Tories did by swapping PMs at will during the last administration? Are they relevant measures?
This is just hyperbole and poor by your standards James.

I am going to guess that a good proportion of the 18% who identify as 'anti-woke' should actually be listed under 'don't know what the term means'.
My experience is that people's opposition to 'being woke' is based on a wilful misunderstanding of the term.

In the end, this is why policies to bring down net immigration by just kicking people out won't work. They presume GB can opt out of the global management of mass migration i.e France can take them or our citizens can be immigrants to you but not vice versa.

Somalia has endured a long history of war, poverty and government corruption. The last thing that country needs is the inference that Isabel Oakeshott might be moving there to prove a political point.

Here's an easy way to make sure you maintain a balanced and critical viewpoint in an age of never ending political opinions.
Ask yourself, does this view come from Matt Goodwin?
If the answer is 'yes' immediately forget it. Then go and do literally anything else other than reading it.

If he's going to put these policies out there he should at least be honest to the people they will impact.

That would actually be a more rational argument than the caller's which is 'some men are predators so I think it reasonable to suspect all immigrant men, and only immigrant men, of being predators'.

I have a special hatred for people who leave suitcases in the aisles or vestibule because the luggage rack in their carriage is full.
The idea that you can leave a bag in a rack in another carriage appears beyond their creative thinking or simply just repugnant to them.

I am not sure 'four years to go' translates to 'let's only act once it's too late'.
