He is far-right though. Many of Reform's policies would not have been out of place on a BNP/NF pamphlet in the 1980's.

In that case a feeling of inner smugness is probably the best option.

Why restrain yourself? They should be informed that it's the consequence of their own actions & that they had a better choice.

I'm not sure that's true.

I think people want a more equitable tax system. The current tax system favours unearned income with lower CGT than Income Tax and the tax bands have been held so low that even the UK's low state pension puts a person on the threshold of paying income tax.

What sort of compromat does Mamdani have on Trump?

If her attendance record is like the Reform MPs in the Commons, how will we see any difference?

Why has a famously litigious person not sued any of these women for defamation? 🤔

Beautiful birds, we stayed in an AirBnB earlier in the year & had one which would visit every morning to catch bugs off the bush by our window.

Just a puffed-up popinjay, full of his own sense of entitlement.

He is the biggest argument ever against the survival of the UK Royal Family in a modern society.

Immigration is only the #1 issue because racists like Matt Goodwin keep banging on about it. It's deliberately done to distract the population from the real issue which is wealth inequality.
It's like George Orwell's 2 Minutes of Hate in 1984.
