One of the less exciting aspects of any new season is that they are also part of it.
Disgusting. Your regular reminder that this is the regime Starmer has "shared family values" with.

We were talking about this last night, and it should be our duty to call this out when we hear ".... immigrants..." in our daily lives from people repeating this mantra.

Fair fecks to the Irish Independent for juxtaposing this photo with this headline.
The salient point is that facilitating Trump has consequences.
