I saw this. She's desperately trying to remain relevant by quoting irrelevances as evidence. Her time is over. Time for politics to move on.

TBF, he should be snatched from the street, zip-tied, chucked in a van, dragged to a compound out town, held for three months without seeing a lawyer, in deeply insanitary conditions, while his immigrants wife and immigrant kids get split up and incarcerated 500 miles apart with zero contact.

Now we're in my wheelhouse. Fishing without a licence is a criminal offence that carries a Β£2,500 fine and the confiscation of your equipment. Lammy and JD Vance both broke the law.

As a foreigner breaking a UK law, Vance should be seized and forcibly deported.

Now that the boats have stopped, will the feral, knuckle-headed mouth-breathing, flag-waving twatriots that make up the degenerate right of British politics kindly do those of us able to eat with cutlery a favour, and - pretty please - just fuck the fuck off? Ta.

They've been waiting for days for a small boat of migrants to arrive, and none arrived...

An innocent President would simply release the Epstein Files and demand a full FBI investigation into every Epstein client.

That’s it.

That’s the whole ballgame summed up.

A bit late on this bandwagon, but worth a share. Pass it on.

Trump analysed by an economist.

Good to hear an adult's take on Trump's batshit trade policies

Cue a tsunami of right-wing bellends wringing their hands and crying over Yaxley-Lennon's martyrdom.

He has an Irish passport, so just deport the little fucker.

Hebden Bridge Picture House. The final scene / reveal in 'Another Earth'.

The whole audience gasped as one, then there was two second of silence.

And then applause.

Beautiful.

Where you from, mate?

No, where you *really* from?

V-reg Citroen CV in mint green.

Written off in a shunt in Ardwick.

Loved that car.

I'd ditch all the lefty political buzzwords and find a simple, warm, emotive, humanly relevant name that would put the new party in a very different space. This party needs to engage with people who feel unconnected to/disillusioned with politics. It needs to go where the others don't.

I work with major brands on naming, launching and communicating their products and services.

You're absolutely right. This cannot be done on the hoof. If it were done anywhere near properly, it would be ready to fly in an absolute minimum of three months - more likely six.

This is vital stuff.

I work in brand development and communications. I'll give Zarah Sultana some free advice: The Left Party is an awful name.

Humanise the political. Make it emotive, and relevant to people's belief in a better, kinder, fairer country.

Take ownership of a word/idea and build a value system round it
