100% true. As with anything, jeopardy comes with opportunity. It's a crucial three years in the UK's social and political development (when's it ever not recently?) and the issue is Starmer lacks the guts or the principles to rock the boat in any meaningful way. So do his acolytes, mind.
This! Labour’s leadership is being talked about as if it’s some kind of poisoned chalice.

This really has the air of a meeting that could trigger a complete collapse in global stability, which is fun.

I interpret the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to María Corina Machado, a champion of democracy in the face of authoritarianism, as a clear indication from the committee that Trump won't be getting anything from them.

Test cricket is ridiculous, how does it *always* manage to end with me stressed out af? It's like everyone's a paid actor for max drama. On this occasion I guess Bethell would be the lead.
