All Labour had to do was not **** things up. They didn't have to do brilliantly, they simply had to not keep scoring own goals. I'm amazed they seem unable to meet even this low bar.

You have to wonder if the majority of people that want to be cabinet ministers are so self-absorbed they cannot process that maybe, just maybe, having ties to dubious X, Y or Z will only end up coming back to haunt. Usually fairly quickly.

Well, Republicans have decided to politicise yet another natural disaster to hit a blue state and are threatening to withhold all federal aid for California unless the debt ceiling (that thing they threatened to shut the government down over multiple times) is completely removed...
Seriously, there is no "both sides are as bad as each other" here, these people are straight up shameless, hypocritical *****. The fact that the FIRST THING they think to do when a natural disaster strikes a blue state is to hold it to ransom is sickening. This happened during Trump's last presidency too and I think everyone remembers the pathetic response to Katrina (back when Republicans at least had some semblance of normality). In contrast when Republican states have been hit by disasters, Democrats have instantly offered aid with no conditions.
Likewise in this country the Tories are utilising the grooming and rape of underage girls to score political points. To those on the right, we are not as bad as each other, YOU are the ones acting like absolute *****.
I am reminded of what was often said of Muslims after 9/11, if the moderates aren't speaking out against the extremists, that can be taken as they on some level approve of it. Well the same needs to apply to the right now. If moderates on the right are not willing to denounce the actions of the extremists, maybe we should assume they approve of it. I have zero time now for anyone who claims to be right wing and is silent on this bullshit now, this stuff has gone on long enough. The far right are tearing liberal democracies all across the world apart. Here, the USA, South Korea, Germany, it's ALL far right agitators.
