I doubt any Troll here who’s trying to smear @Keir_Starmer about decade-old events will be interested to read these pages from my book about his record prosecuting rape gangs. But he’s done more to bring them to justice than Farage, Yaxley-Lennon - or Musk -will ever do.
Returned from a Twitter sabbatical to find its owner - unhelpfully both the world's richest and thickest man - shilling for Reform and Tommy Robinson, trying to overthrow the British govt and have Jess Phillips thrown into jail. Increasingly hard to justify staying, isn't it?

When we got 4 million & 6 Million signatures on these 2 petitions for a second referendum in 2016 + just Revoking Article 50 and remaining in the EU 2019, we were told "You lost, get over it" "Why do you hate democracy?"
Same surely goes for this Call A General Election petition?
Am reminded this morning of that great HIGNFY joke: As a young man, John Prescott worked for Cunard. And he still works hard today.
Think I'm turning into a doomsday cultist. Humanity is approaching its endgame, and I'm basically fine with that.
