The two British parties want to pull apart Labour’s fragile coalition of progressives and traditionalists. Nothing mobilises their supporters like the spectre of the other extreme, and declaring that they alone can defeat it
Question for you. If the expert in endocrinology is an an engineer rather than a medical doctor, isn’t that likely to get torn apart in a law court? That’s what the expert is on this “panel of experts”? The PE hasn’t addressed this point.
The American bombardment of Iran has been launched without explanation, without Congress, without public support. Above all it has been launched without a coherent strategy for the Iranian people, and without a plan to let them build a legitimate Iranian state.

He seriously assaulted an off duty policeman and went to prison for it. Let that sink in. Lots of people here in the UK seem oblivious to this fact. I bet hardly anyone in the US knows this.

Viktor Orban is now 20 points behind in the polls - and so he has ordered the military to guard “key energy facilities” against a possible Ukrainian “attack.” Hungarians fear he plans a fake national security emergency or false-flag incident before the April 12 election

Imagine a Labour Councillor reposted a call for a Reform MP to be shot.. OMG the furore that’d follow
BBC’s Mason & Kuensberg would run headline “Starmer sanctions political assassinations” MSM would call for Starmer to quit & the Councillor fired

Just read your piece. It’s a very good description of the constituency dynamics. I think Reform were certain to win at first, but Nick Buckley will take a significant number of votes from Reform now especially as he can argue he’s in effect the Restore candidate too. Lab is still competitive IMO.
So the thing he was against last year, prompting his resignation from Reform last year saying 'I no longer believe working to get a Reform government elected is a good use of my time, and hereby resign the office.'
The radicalisation virus strikes again.
As someone who lives right next to the constituency would be inclined to agree. Lots of Green social media but very few who live in the constituency. Labour still to this day has very strong infrastructure in the constituency which will certainly help it.
there's a nugget here which helps to explain Brown's character and why he was so incensed by the allegations against Mandelson from their time in office
Defending X is wild. Do you read Musk’s posts? He has turned it into the most important platform for building a far right international.

It’s a dictatorship. It’s a company not a party. Dread to think how this country would be governed if he was in charge.
I agree with you. It reminds me of Waspi campaign. Someone will have to pay for this. In this case it will be it future students.
This has the feel of Farage's (and Trump's) "Attack is the best form of defence".....

British far-right agitator Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson), previously barred from the US because of his long rap sheet, secured a visa and has met with Kari Lake, the self-proclaimed acting CEO of USAGM. He has recently been revealed to be in the pay of the Kremlin for decades.
