      Interesting quote
      A clear understanding that there is a deserving poor and an undeserving poor is crucial; people who do the right thing, but are nonetheless impoverished, and watch others who do not do the right thing thrive on benefits, dislike Labour’s lazy and ignorant amalgamation of the two groups.*

            How's Labour gonna **** this up?

            Srsly, Boris and the Tories are almost as incompetent as Dump and the GOP. How on earth can Labour not only not be in the majority but nowhere even remotely close? The Dems learned lessons and got competent in the 2000s and 2010s. Why didn't Labour? Is it that their form of Clinton Third Way poison (Blair) wasn't eradicated?

                    Would have also fit the Brexit thread nicely.

                        Howler.

                        The UK economy will shrink and perform worse than other advanced economies as the cost of living continues to hit households, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said.

                        The IMF said the economy will contract by 0.6% in 2023, rather than grow slightly as previously predicted.

                        It said its new forecast reflected the UK's high energy prices and financial conditions, such as high inflation.

                        Chancellor Jeremy Hunt said the UK outperformed many forecasts last year.

                        In its World Economic Outlook update, the IMF, which works to stabilise economic growth, said the UK's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) would shrink rather than grow by 0.3% this year.

                        It predicted the UK would be the only country - across the world's advanced and emerging economies - to suffer a year of declining GDP.

                              In 2015 Mhairi Black was the youngest person ever elected to Parliament at just 20 years old. Today she announced that she will not stand in the next election. Aside from the typical abuse an MP receives, she and her family have been sent multiple death threats and two members of Parliament have been killed in recent years. The toll it was taking on her (she called Westminster "toxic" and "poisonous") and her family was horrible.

                              She will be a tremendous loss. If you haven't had the pleasure of hearing her speeches in Westminster you really should. Just today a member of the Tories paid tribute to her (in a Tory sort of way) and she responded that they had both arrived in Parliament at the same time and will be leaving at the same time as well. (He is standing for election, but will likely get trounced).
