Three weeks without a Reform representative on Laura Kuenssberg! Anyone would think we were avoiding questions about election fraud, MEPs taking Russian bribes, me being a racist bully at school, Reform officials calling LBGT people nonces or my dodgy house purchase.

2026 will be a big year.

We in Labour must make and win the argument together that our progressive politics is changing peoples lives for the better.

We must stay united, beat the politics of division and hate and overcome the challenges ahead.

Ill-intentioned speak, you say?
Sen. Ashley Moody seems EXTREMELY beatable to me next year in Florida. She really struggles on TV (as you can see in this clip) or to speak coherently in public in general.

The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.
