Firstly (& most importantly) he DID NOT say that.
Secondly you can’t wang on about language you don’t like AND parade Lucy Connolly like a mascot.

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell.
Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass.
That, right there, is the problem.

I'd add: 'won't work' can only work for a party in gov't people think that gov't's own approaching IS working.
Which they don't.
Similar to how Sunak's attacks on Starmer for 'not having a plan' failed to land.

Trump taking a 10% stake in Intel for the government is yet another reminder that Dems, when in power, should stop being afraid of their own shadows and do whatever the f*ck they want and not worry about political norms or rules or conventions or media name calling.

Terrific thread by Jonathan this. Since I was born, the area I grew up in has higher employment, has got older, has got healthier, became more likely to be in the private rented sector, got less religious, got less white. There is no non-bigoted reason to think the last of those is problematic.
..I have lived 55 years in LA where "white British" fell from ?85-90% to 40%. Over same time:
- population shrank by a 1/4, grew by a 1/3
- became much richer but much more unequal
- got older, less Christian, more atheist
- *massive* shift in industry/occupations.
..you get the idea [3/4]

If as a politician you are complaining about Pride banning political parties I would strongly suggest you look within yourselves as to why this decision has had to be made, the rampant, and unrepentant, attacks on the LGBTQIA+ community for starters, before criticising those who have made it.
