At least they've forgiven him for re-ratting back to the Tories.

The thing is, when Winston Churchill was put on the Β£5 note, the sharper knives in the drawer would have realised that this was part of an ongoing process which meant that one day Winston Churchill would be taken off the Β£5 note.

I can't believe he wasn't straightforward about this. He should just have made a clean breast of things.

They absolutely believe it. I was once told by an American online that they didn't lose the Vietnam war, because you can buy Pepsi in Ho Chi Minh City. As though there's no reason Saigon is now called that.

Not a celeb, but a Guardian journalist blocked me on my first day on Twitter, before I had even sent my first tweet. Admirable foresight.

Badenoch denies calling for UK to join US-Israeli war on Iran Conservative leader accused of taking confusing position after she said Starmer should β€˜do more than catch arrows’

At the most basic level of 'have some self-respect', Conservative MPs should not put forward someone who visibly is not intellectually equipped to be prime minister as their candidate to be prime minister.

If you were the Iranian leadership, wouldn't you read this and think "he's terrified, and we need to keep up the pressure"?

FOT. I quite liked him as PM but he’s become a gross creature of kleptocracy and oligarchy since then.

My most unpopular opinion is that farming out the death penalty for child murderers to the hard faced horrible cunts they share prison wings with is a societal failure and instead of relishing when one gets killed, we should be ashamed our prison system is so broken.
