I’m really just surprised this took so very long…
Sure… that strategy is always a winner…
At least she resigned. Sam Brownback never did.
Frank Hester, who has donated £10m to the Tories, reportedly said the MP made him want to “hate all black women”.
Mr Hester apologised for making “rude” comments but said his words “had nothing to do with her gender nor colour of skin”.
I don’t know that this is politics, not exactly.
I care not one iota for the monarchy, because as an institution it has done all sorts of damage to the world.

Budget day and employers are faced with paying more taxes. Guessing that comes from laying off employees?
Jenrick was never really on my radar before the Conservative leadership election, he was just there when there were plenty more Tory arseholes to be enraged by but… wow, what an arsehole.

— opposes marriage equality… She’s the most right-wing leader the party’s ever had.
(TLDR: She’s the antithesis of Kamala Harris.)
