I believe the great philosopher Alanis Morissette had something to say about this.

Burnham has received 24,927 more votes than Zia Yusuf ever has.

I actually worked with a Flat Earther for about a year. To be fair, she did say she had views which a lot of people wouldn't agree with. She was also an anti-vaxxer, and probably a few other conspiratorial views to boot.

And 38% of Reform voters don't think social media played much of a role or any role at all. Well, that's what someone on Twitter told them anyway....

I trust Farage has told the unelected Zia Yusuf he has no legitimacy as well...

Scooby Doo always fascinated me. When the criminals were unmasked and said "I would've gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling kids", no one ever mentioned the 6 foot tall talking dog. Was Shaggy the only person who could hear Scooby talking?

Never a fan of the show, but it had a belting theme tune www.youtube.com/watch?v=15Gn...

They are all very deliberately ignoring the express wishes of Henry Nowak's family; the judge's sentencing report & the obvious, albeit brief, consequences of a crime being reported exclusively by a lying associate of the perpetrator. It may feel futile but this has to be repeated again & again.

If they genuinely think Jenrick is the answer to their problems, those problems are a lot bigger than they think.

Rory, Rory, tell us a story. 👍 Some of my earliest TV memories were the lunchtime kids shows. Pipkins, Mumfie, Cloppa Castle, Rupert and Rainbow. Great days.

It's telling that both the Mail and Express managed to find something other than the latest 'Farage vs the foreigners' story to put on the front page.

Interesting that after recent newspaper stories calling for a certain ex-PM to link up with Reform, that Farage is now referring to the post Brexit increase in immigration as a "Boriswave". Poor old Nadine Dorries won't like that....

I'm sensing that a "key architect of a disastrous decision which has made the country measurably poorer" might also be one whose name rhymes with garage....

Here’s an idea - politicians have to apply for a licence to practice politics, renewed every 5 years. If you are found to have been a key architect of a disastrous decision which has made the country measurably poorer, that’s one of the criteria through which the licence can be revoked.

I assumed so. It reads like part of the story is missing.

What's becoming clearer by the day is that in the midst of the "fight of our times", Starmer is not the best person to be leading the fightback.

Yeah, good of him to come out and condemn it 3 days later. I notice he still fails to acknowledge that while it may have been led by a convicted criminal, it was clearly financed by American interests. Maybe he'll mention that next week when Trump is back home. Or maybe not.
