Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

ReTories are telling voters, really quite directly, that this is now a rebranding exercise, a quick change of costume.
Zahawi on why Badenoch won't be the next PM: "She's got the baggage of a defunct brand; a brand that the nation has decided it can no longer trust." ~AA

Reform told you reducing council tax was easy. They just had to slash Woke policies, and a billion or two would be saved. They wouldn't even need to close care services.
They promise you that.
And then every single Reform-led council cut care services and increased council tax.

We’ve done some good things in our first year in office, but we must do better to re-connect with the communities we serve and give a much clearer sense of our purpose and values.
That’s how we succeed. That’s how we will re-unite the country.

Still internalising the Vance Munich speech. A sitting Vice President goes to Europe, barely says a word about the despotic murderous regime which has invaded its neighbour, and instead lectures his allies about freedom of speech. It’d be funny if it weren’t so serious.

At the heart of Canadian national memory is the awareness that Canadians twice came to the UK's aid in world wars years before the Americans showed up.
It will not be forgottem if the Brits now hide in a corner and say nothing when Canada faces existential threats.

Would be nice to see some UK politicians speaking up in support of Canada, which is blameless in this and with which Britain has far closer ties than it does with the US.
Nobody hold their breath.
