In a normal functioning country, this would see the end of the Reform 'Party'. But this is the UK in 2024 and in all likelihood this has just reinforced their victory in Clacton!
Ah, but somebody liked some tweets, so better run away instead of make even a principled stand...and not ask how long that story had been sat on, as likes became private last month, no doubt because Exlax got caught liking neo-Nazi material again
Sunak actually does seem angry here, which is quite understandable. Reform have managed to humanise him. Their response is to wheel out a journalist to create a conspiracy theory, claiming that the man who said it is an actor. Said journalist is Isabel Oakeshott though, who just happens to be Richard Tice's missus of the last 7 years. Pure coincidence, I'm sure.
Leaving aside the fact that Trump created the Afghanistan issue, he just made a massive tell on himself. "This was his dream. I talked to him about it." So you knew he was going to invade Ukraine and didn't say anything. Wouldn't want to upset your employer, eh?
Sunak getting upset about being the target of racist language...and rightly so. But less worried about racist death threats when they are made by the Tories principal donor against a black Labour MP!
Biden is toast. If he stays in the Presidential race then Trump is a shoe-in and we are all ****ed. You'd hope that his wife would want to protect him and get him to withdraw but instead, she's lauding his candidacy. The Democrats need to act fast and come up with a credible alternative. Although trending, Michelle Obama will surely not be interested.
Funny that: the racist who was being racist in a racist manner who Farage claim isn't a real activist...seems to be doing some really real activism a couple of months ago
Or when he refused to call out 30p Lee as being racist or islamophobic when he came out with his bile against Sadiq Khan. Remember that was "wrong" not racist. Can he imagine how Khan felt then? Well I'm guessing he does now. But it's all about me me me for the likes of Sunak.
This is what aggravates me about Sunak: as somebody who has this thing called "empathy" there's moments I almost feel sorry for him - and then he goes and reminds me that there was never any reason to, starting with him re-instating Braverman as Home Secretary and bulldozing ahead with the Rwanda policy
A Rwanda policy he originally said wouldn't work... which only goes to show he had to deal with the devil to try and get a handle over all the crackpot factions in his party. And he failed to do it. Simply bcos you can't go round trying to appease the far right libertarian lunatics as they'll just continue to demand more and more before eventually fcking you over in the end. Something Cameron found out back in 2016.
Hello? Rwanda? We have a migrant who insists on breaking the law on a weekly basis we would like you to take off our hands...
