Robert Jenrick has been sacked as shadow minister on account of the shadow leader thinking he's thinking of defecting.
Presumably this encourages him to defect really? Even if he wasn't planning to leave, why stay around in a party that can't win and is sacking people on paranoid presumptions that they will leave?
Seems like all the rats at the Conservative party are jumping ship to Reform. People will be voting Reform at the next election and literally getting the exact same ministers as when they voted Conservative at the last one.
This isn't like the usual "Vote X, get Y", where the broken electoral system lets the least popular party in because the popular political wing is divided. This is literally "Vote reform, Reform win, but you get the exact people who were standing as Conservative last time"
Is this really good for Reform? It's voters are trying to avoid voting Tory, surely? Adding all the old tory ministers to their ranks has to hurt rather than help?

It's so American how the Sackler family caused a national #opioidcrisis which ultimately led to the #fentanyl crisis, & instead of imprisoning them the #US eventually went "Hang on, we can use this as an excuse to start a war with a country that doesn't even produce fentanyl."

Trump’s anti #Somali rants are not directed only at that group. All #Black / #African people are seen as suspects, as ungrateful #criminals who are deserving of punishment & scorn. He isn't alone in this thinking.

The richest 10% control 94% of total #capital ownership assets in the United States.
They determine how to use our #labor & #resources, what we produce & how our #surplus is deployed.
They determine the direction of our #civilization. It is the antithesis of #democracy.
