When we get to the stage of reading about people sewing valuables into their coat linings then we know exactly where which times we're living in

These companies have poured £££ into research before spending money on these ads. They're without doubt creating ads based on the need for profit not "woke" so I don't get the R wing argument. I thought they were the parties of free enterprise and capitalism. Seems not when it suits

Presumably by the same logic he won't complain if Spain, France, Italy throw out their non naturalised British residents living over there with similar settled status.

No one is suggesting "legitimate concerns" at all, but ignoring them leaves us exposed to people being groomed by the far right and Reform and protesting once more around hotels

And hey presto an unnecessarily personal and reductive response which you then deleted. Then leaving a quote not lifted from my reply.

I'm sorry about the rather reductive responses. I feel you have a valid point. The so called left/liberal elite (and I am probably one of them) has long dismissed and marginalised the white working class. Brexit and the rise of Reform is the result.

I’m pretty certain there was a scene in the British newsroom sitcom Drop The Dead Donkey inspired by this

So is this the most recent position? DJT unilaterally declared a ceasefire on social media, didn't bother to let Iran or Israel know. Both sides now bombing the fuck out of each other. He's now really pissed off he didn't manage to 'manifest' peace and won't get his Nobel

He doesn't even trouble to hide his corruption, yet no one really seems able to stop him. I don't understand how the state is so paralysed with fear of this buffoon

I'm more shocked to hear he lives in a cul de sac. Have designers of housing estates not been asked to comment?

This show is such a treat. I'll miss Helen Lewis terribly when she's off on her book tour; the two of you have such good chemistry.
