A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.

you know I would say her matching pink phone case really makes this, gives Goodwin a huge "sad loser man at the end of Legally Blonde" vibe

Well I'll tell you something that's not funny; right now a deeply transphobic Reform candidate is at home crying like a little girl!

The Arrogant Elite now includes 'normal voters in Greater Manchester.'

The Hoary Handed Honest Downtrodden Folk of Albion still means 'millionaires with a regular national newspaper opinion column and/or GB News presenting slot'. Please update your files.

Reform win historic first seat. What this will mean for reshaping the landscape of British politics.

Greens win historic first by-election. What this will mean for Reform.
