Reposted by Matthew CarsonNute @nutedawn.bsky.social · 13/05/2026It is almost impossible to stress how utterly pathetic it is to say that the prime minister has failed and lost all authority and must be given a few more months because you miscalculated the timing on how you could personally benefit??

Reposted by Matthew CarsonMarie Le Conte @youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com · 27/02/2026obviously today is a huge embarrassment for Matt Goodwin and for Reform, which is something that we absolutely ought to celebrate, but we must also remember it's a huge embarrassment for Morgan McSweeney and Maurice Glasman and all the Blue Labour weirdos, and that's important to celebrate too :) 884234788
