We have Reform. Now we've also got Restore. What's next? I know! Revise and Resubmit.

Reviewer 2 might be about to cut short a budding political career.

Well there's a graph for you.

This raises serious questions over Starmer's decision to appoint Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to the positions of monarch's second son and Duke of York.

J(eb!)D Vance.

I think the UK government should not be posting on the social media site owned by the guy who thinks Nigel Farage is a woke race traitor.
