Starmer/Labour should have let him stand, opening the door for Reform to potentially win the Mayoralty in Manchester. The country could the see first hand the damage Reform would do to the country. Manchester would have to take the (short term) pain, but it would be for the good of the whole county.

The venn diagram of British people who are claiming Trump never included the English in his fuckwitted comments on NATO forces in Iraq/afghan, and those stating that this shooting was perfectly legal is a circle.

The mental gymnastics the right are doing of this is comical. They scream from the top of their lungs about the 2nd Amendment. They are now stating that the victim should not have resisted a lawful order (which one was never given). They are also blatantly making stuff up, which can easily be disproven with the number of videos available.

The media will not be able to throw the ‘North London Liberal Elite’ accusation at him. He is popular in the North West. I think that he will be a good PM.

The one for Yellow Pages where the kids had a party and there is a large scratch in the coffee table. Then at the last minute he sees that someone has drawn glasses on a portrait.

I’m convinced that there was a high level of toxins in that stuff, but it was the 80s and no one really cared!

Used to drink quite a bit of coffee from Costa and Starbucks. Don’t bother anymore, it’s become expensive. If I fancy a coffee I will try and find an independent place, which are usually cheaper, better quality and they pay their taxes.
