Reform have miscalculated in Wales to a huge degree, by positioning themselves as an English Nationalist Party.

Yes. We have racist wankers in Wales, but our racist wankers hate the English more than anyone else.

Can someone please tell me, a simpleton, why buildings were often built so that upper floors were overhanging lower ones. Surely that would make the upper floors less stable?

'Manchesterism' is building a better politics and a strong economy. The whole country should be inspired | Andy Burnham We are the fastest-growing city-region economy in the UK, proof that it is possible to use public funds effectively while reducing crisis spending, says Andy Burnham, mayor of Greater Manchester

β€œwho broke Britain?”, let’s be clear and unequivocal. The four horsemen of Britain’s apocalypse are deindustrialisation, privatisation, austerity and Brexit.

At his 4.30pm press conference Farage announces that Jenrick has joined Reform after previously calling him a fraud

As a kid I tried to see how far I could run up a pavement on a busy uphill road with my eyes shut and ran headfirst, full pelt into the first concrete lamp post. Had a lump the size of an egg and a black eye

I agree very strongly with this view. The chances of a populist right-wing government coming into power in UK are higher than they have been for quite some time. Older Europeans can testify that that doesn’t often bode well for those citizens thought to be different

Spot on. And it was a long time ago. Times were different then and everyone was saying things like that. It was just banter and he didn’t directly racially abuse anyone.

I see the Daily Telegraph is now reporting on the Australian trade deal disaster for which it campaigned.

Nobody, and I mean *nobody*, has betrayed this country like the libertarian wreckers who lied to the public about β€˜Brexit benefits’.

Badenoch calls on people 'from cultures that don't respect women' to 'get out of our country' The Conservative leader was responding to the government's strategy to tackle violence against women and girls.

Badenoch appears to be calling for a ban on President Trump visiting UK #GrabThemByThePussy news.sky.com/story/badeno...

Her’s is of course a bonkers point of view, but which comedians make the grade if conscripted? Greg Davies, Kevin Bridges and Al Murray look the part. Sally Phillips in the Ops Room? Jack Dee as Top Brass.

And now those failed Tory MPs are defecting to Reform. It’ll end in tears for us all if we are not sensible
