That's exactly what I've been saying for years.
A nice enough bloke, but certainly not a leader.

I've seen this post again and again from different users. I can only presume it's Labour bots.
And it's no thanks to Reeves. It's thanks to all the pressure that was put on her to reverse her actual decision made last year.

A marginal difference that's only for headlines anyway.
Are they supporting genocide in Israel too? Would they have to have been forced to drop the 2 child cap? I could go on an on. Such as, Is their leader as racist as that Starmer creature.
But hey. You did a laughing emoji, you win.

What sort of car doesn't have an odometer?
I've had cars going back to the 1950's but never had one without an odometer?
I do LOVE old cars. I used to have a few "oldies" including a Ford Consul with a bench seat up front.
