Need a Trump win in the autumn and 2024 will have been a very good year.

Oh dear.

You cannot label a whole party on the deeds and words of one of them. Pretty sure you'd find some horrific ideas from some Labour and Tory candidates if you look.

It's a pretty childish argument to be honest Oldie.

As I said, there are bad 'uns in every party. Sometimes it takes time to smoke them out.

A small party and a new party. Yes, there will be oddballs there. Labour and the Tories have had far longer to get rid of their's, but they've had their fair share. The fact Reform has already got rid of ten is actually good. It shows they are acting as soon as these idiots reveal themselves.

Is Dianne Abbott, the racist, anti-semite running for Labour?
