If Labour lose GE 2029 so badly that they're not even in power as part of a coalition, they might as well shut the party down.
Nobody will forgive them for being midwives to an emboldened Tory/Reform axis.

In typical Trump fashion, he stirred up a crisis in Colombia and then pretended to fix it, using his rope-a-dope tactic. The media’s naivety is infuriating; they still haven’t caught on to his manipulative schemes and endless lies.

Media just fell for the oldest trick in the old brigand Trump's career-criminal playbook: the rope-a-dope. The fact that it did so confirms that it has learned nothing about how to deal with the man.

Grooming gangs and csa are weaponised as part of certain bad faith actors attempts to make them seem race, religion or "integration" based. They aren't. Main offenders are actually white anyway. When you make them about race you risk ignoring other abusers like these.
