Marrying a man with drug issues who was taught by his father that men are constantly unfaithful and abandon their young children, a man who cheated on his first wife, and who abandoned that wife and his children to run off with a mistress, whom he later also abandoned, seems a rather risky choice.

Ok this psychodrama has got completely out of hand!! Labour are officially handing the country to Reform on a platter by being incapable of not tearing themselves apart. Farage should be in the ropes for £5 mil bribe/bung. Instead we have this dross.

Fiona Bruce on Question Time has just repeated a quotation about Reform, describing them as a rag bag crew, as though they’re an underdog. They’re not, they’re a group run by millionaires, backed by foreign influence

Imagine getting in a time machine and going back to 1776 and telling the Founding Fathers that the King would one day be reminding America about the importance of democracy and our checks and balances. That is the timeline we’re living in.
