Can't have billionaires aggressively and malevolently interfering in British politics. Completely agree hardline action should be taken by Government.

I agree with this while maintaining a massive issue this Labour Government has is how much the bad south, the patterless south, the joyless southern lads it is.
It's Peter Kyle's Labour Party. Wes Streeting's. Steve Reed's. Keir Starmer's. No patter to be seen. Loads of snide though.

One team has only really deserved to lose one game and deserved to win about twenty in the round.
