33 seats lost in Sunderland that is a disaster for Labour.

I’m sure Reform will stop the Viking boats mind.

That's the effect of simplistic, uncomplicated and fact-free messaging for you.
In 2029, I think Farage and Reform will swerve the tv debates. He can't get tripped up or have his policies (policy singular sorry) questioned if he's not there. Didn't Boris swerve them in 2019 and it worked a treat for him.

Very high child poverty in Sunderland. Sort of place that might be expected to care about the work Labour's done on it. Apparently not. It actually wants a load more of it.

Bozo skipped Andrew Neil, doubtless because Theresa May had had a very tough time with him in 2017.

Trump did 1 debate with Harris, then skipped the others. Did him no harm. Lots of the electorate seem to hate clever people anyway.
