Actually, that's not a bad answer: "No, not at the moment, we tend to keep our flag waving for special occasions, like supporting the Red Roses in the Rugby World Cup this weekend; Apart from Ed's Union Jack Underpants of course, which are on show all year round".
Iron_Horse (@chris-collis.bsky.social) reply parent
. @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social you should've seen that question coming, and the correct answer was: "No, not at the moment, but of course we'll be supporting the Red Roses Rugby team against Australia on Saturday, and there might well be a bit of flag waving to support our women's team".

Each day I am astounded and mortified by this country’s descent into open and brazen racism I am equally astounded and mortified that rather than push back on the malign forces taking us to these dark places - an elected Labour government appears more interested in trying to learn from them

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

I'd bet that Putin will decide Trump is no longer useful and arrange for him to be despatched. Possibly shot on 5th Avenue for comic effect.

I don't think they're planning on having mid-terms (or any other election). Due to "State of Emergency" in Chicago, DC, NY, caused by Trump's brown-shirts occupying those cities.
