I feel deeply, deeply, DEEPLY ashamed that the second nation I call home can be riled up and get riots in multiple cities by large gatherings of racist and xenophobe gammons who can be controlled ON COMMAND by rich idiot Americans with a mind so narrow you need one of this (check pic below) to insert a new idea inside their very tiny brains and yet you'll fail.
Deeply, deeply ashamed.

Remember guys, it is NOT a collapsed party until they've lost the elections.
Never celebrate too soon.
You might end up with a Tories + LibDem or worse Tories + Reform big coalition.
You are all assuming Starmer will win far too early, not remembering the left always hesitates. The perception of winning is enough for many on the left to not go to vote.

Can anyone here living in Germany inform me how is it to get hiv treatment over there?
I know I can get it here and in the UK easily as I enjoy the same rights as if they were still inside the EU (got settled status) and went and tried just to be sure.
But I have no idea how it works in any other EU country. In theory it should be damn easy, in practice I rather know the small print.
