I see we're working our way through all the stupidest historical takes now, in a mission to kill every living brain cell on earth. If Hitler was a "communist socialist guy", why were Communists and Socialists the very first people he killed? Riddle me that Batman.

Let's not forget Kemi Badenoch admitted to hacking Harriet Harman’s website in 2008.
Such action - a breach of the Computer Misuse Act - carried a jail sentence of up to five years at the time.

Kemi Badenoch makes the mistake of bringing up Louise Haigh's resignation, saying "the public needs conviction politicians, not politicians with convictions".
Forgetting that Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak both unlawfully broke Covid restrictions. And were fined. While in office. #PMQs

To the several Labour MPs on here who follow me or see this, maybe it's time to ask the Government departments to set up here and at least operate parallel handles, if not finally switch. [the instant they do all the journalists that cover their day to day activities will come too].
