Can we spare a thought for the many left wing comedians whose Tory jokes will soon be antiquated, and who can't bring themselves to mock David Lammy. The next busker you see outside a tube station may once have performed on HIGNFY
The Tories will be history, but Trump and Farage will provide plenty of ammunition.

Trump, yes, if he gets elected. But Farage will be at best head of a small contingent of Reform MP's in a parliament massively dominated by Labour. So if left wing comedians focus on Farage, it will look like they're the government's mouthpiece.
 
Very good local beer is £1:30 a pint in Riga Central Market.

Now that’s how to run a country.

Disgusting inflation/currency fluctuation. It was under a quid last time I was there. Wasn’t a huge fan of the city tbh but did go to a very weird medieval restaurant where the staff in fancy dress really weren’t into the role.

It is still under a quid for a pro rata if you buy a litre. I’m just not drinking enough. Off to a town called Tukums in a minute for a match, reckon the beer price could hit a new low out of the big city. Riga is ok, not as instantly appealing as Tallinn.
 
If anyone out there is still contemplating voting for the Conservatives, spare 4 minutes of your life to watch this, to save yourself another 5 years of misery..

Quite. He seems to be making a living from it, though.

I had the misfortune of seeing him in Hammersmith earlier this year. It was a really uncomfortable experience as I was surrounded by hundreds of Strollers all whooping a braying at every expletive levelled at the Tories and the Royal Family, and giving me looks because I’d lost the will to laugh, clap and enjoy life.
Hundreds you say
You poor man
