Aside from the 'she's dead' bit, why pick someone from Bradford to run in Croydon ? We must implement residency requirements.
This is just next level insanity.

In January this year, Reform picked Sharon Carby, aged 70, from Bradford, to run as their Croydon Mayoral candidate.

There was just one rather significant problem.

For almost twenty years, with a needle in hand and infinite patience, Martín Sellier not only wove together coloured threads, but also his love for chemistry.

At 82 years old, this retired chemist achieved an extraordinary feat: embroidering the entire periodic table in cross-stitch.

NEW: The Trump admin told a US-funded aid group that gives food & medicine to starving children in Sudan to shut down.

Children would die.

They’re defying the order.

But the aid world is in chaos.

Michael Heseltine says Brexiteers sold Britain a “pack of lies” and called for the UK to rejoin the EU.

He said the UK should be “at the heart of Europe” and that returning to the bloc would be “in the best interests of a generation of young British people”.

I’m on a train, and the school kids sitting next to me have just loudly discussed their grandparents being racist fools, the economic importance of immigration, women’s bodily autonomy, transphobic bullies, and Elon Musk’s disinformation. Sometimes the future looks bright.
