Its always unnerving to see people talking about war like its sports game, supporting their respective teams, like its not something with extraordinary destruction that, under the BEST of circumstances, those who haven't been obliterated, will need to spend many decades attempting to rebuild from.

Meanwhile, in 1969…
It's not just that Reform only represents the ultra-rich. They principally represent the *overseas* ultra-rich.
Those first few responses got a chuckle out of me.

Thank heavens we have a labour government to tackle the billionaire backed propaganda hosepipes.
Sigh.

It's probably just me but Mahmood appears to be transforming into Darth Vader.
Reform are denying me access to the Welsh manifesto launch...
Remember a few weeks ago when Reform UK threatened to defund Bangor University in the name of "free speech"?
Well despite repeated requests, Reform are not allowing me to attend their manifesto launch.
