I'm torn, yes we do need an end to rigid, vile religious theocracies but not being credited to Christofash like Trump.

Basically we just need zero religion in charge. Theocracy only ever seems to work out for the corrupt rich arseholes (99.9% of which are men) in charge.

Am I the only one wondering why labour don't bring in a law forcing all the people defecting to other parties to stand for by-elections?

What happens when you put a "social conservative" in charge of police funding and an actual conservative in charge or dispensing that money?

Apparently staffing cuts despite funding increases because of stupid ideas on how to use the money that don't work, but it's all someone else's fault still.

Last week the BBC were quite rightly calling them a far right fringe party. Now suddenly they're just a "new right wing party" (as if we don't already have enough.)

So Starmer knew Mandelson was the friend of a nonce, who carried on being the friend of a nonce after said nonce was convicted of noncing, but still thought he was fit for high office and is *now* disgusted because said nonce friend turned out to be corrupt.
