I’m not a great political analyst, but I do feel Labour have made a tactical error by opting to be cunts.

Always fascinating watching people underestimate the size of London vs other UK ciries.
On an average weekday, more journeys are made on JUST the Elizabeth line than the ENTIRE population of Liverpool.
If the Tube was a city, its average daily passengers would make it the 2nd largest in the UK.

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter
Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

Labour MP spreading the blatant lie that that asylum seekers are being treated to pleasurable hotel stays, rather than the reality which is that they're converted to functional, cramped dormitories. Of course they haven't paid. They aren't even allowed to work.

The fact that the DBS update services web address still includes "CRB Checks" in it, despite the fact they haven't been called that in over 10 years is hilarious to me.

God, the number of people who were willing to believe that the South Yorkshire police were too woke to prosecute sexual abuse cases, when in fact the police force was itself an instrument of patriarchal sexual violence. It’s like a case study in the worst excesses of the British press.
