The government want more coercive powers for the state against protests, and the main opposition party wants more coercive powers for the state against migrants.

Brutal new MRP poll out today showing Reform at 311 and Labour support collapsing.

And now Torode. It's like nothing has ever happened.
I just flicked onto MasterChef just to see how they were dealing with the whole of Wallace and Torode thing. The first shot I saw was Greg fucking Wallace doing a piece to camera with a cheeky chappy hat on. What the actual fuck BBC?

But sure. More austerity.
