“thanks to keir starmer, a changed labour party” yeah he made it worse

Forgot I was up early for a haircut.

So far, delighted that Joanna Cherry is out. Good riddance, just a shame that the Labour MP who’s replaced her is a horrible racist.

Greens in England and Wales won all of their target seats which is really cool.

Penny Mordaunt lost her seat, very interesting.
