Liz Truss — Fule Britannia
Could there be a worse Prime Minister than the boisterous buffoon Johnson? Yes, the dull lampooned Truss. A party which is sacrificed to dumb down society by using the dream of Brexit to prevent a left-wing alternative, ends up paying a high price. First Johnson then Truss.

Blairism, first the tragedy now the farce
The Labour Party Conference is notable for two things. The failed rear-guard action by the left, followed by the takeover of the party by the Blairites. What a bunch of political clowns.

Antisemitism report: By suspending Corbyn, Starmer is tearing Labour apart
Last night, it was not even clear what rule Corbyn was supposed to have broken.
