Tv adverts where people spontaneously break out into dance should be banned - expressing the excitement of a cheap insurance deal through dance is just wrong

I just saw and fact checked an interesting claim.
Robert Jenrick posted a video where vigilante style he confronts a fare dodger on the Tube, and claims that Khan's London is the Wild West.
Actually, the crime rate in his constituency is higher than London.
Go to Newark, Jenrickman...

With the level of grift coming from the usual characters where have they left to go for the next 4 years. I've just seen Keir described as the worst leader in 300 years - hopefully they'll all implode with their own gammon energy

Coverage of idiots claiming ‘betrayal’ or ‘surrender’ isn’t just bad journalism, it’s a dereliction of our duty to explain things. I’d actually forgotten just how bad it got but here we are, straight back to treating liars & spivs like authorities of equal weight to experts & honest brokers.

Judging by how the grifting bots on the other place have gone into meltdown, tomorrow's Europe deal is a very, very good thing.
