“There is one clear set of culprits as to how we got to this place.” “You’re bringing the stench with you.” As Suella Braverman bemoans “Britain’s brokenness” following her defection to Reform, does she know who's really responsible?

Same in the UK, probably getting worse with the disappearance of ‘intellectual’ Tories & Reform’s glorification of pig ignorance. I never know how to articulate this without making the problem worse! (As demonstrated above.)
