Really struggle with England constantly picking Bethell on potential. Rehan offers as much if not more with the bat and a hell of a lot more with the ball. Key’s obstinacy/arrogance. See also son of best mate Crawley.

ReformUK councillors and their ilk, are a reflection of what a Reform govt would look like. They all assumed that it would be, chatting to few locals, maybe cutting a ribbon, being chauffeured around in limo's, when really they are mainly uneducated, lazy, chancers, racists and grifters.
