Smokey111... good question.   I   apply the 'what if it was jeremy corbyn' rule to see what the press would do.  I hated corbyn with a passion.... but bojo gets serious air cover from the Daily Mail...Telegraph...Times...  there are many vested interests.

Labour are fighting on multiple fronts....  irrespective of your political leaning it is important to have a vibrant and challenging opposition and press.   Right now we have neither and we are in borderline failed state territory.


Borderline? We're already there. The government have made it illegal to protest, strengthened the police's power against anyone protesting and are bringing in regulations that will make it more difficult for people to vote a.k.a voter suppression. There was one conviction for voter fraud after the 2019 election but 3.5 million people don't have photo ID. It's almost as if the people who are responsible for the poverty and the situations of the marginalised in society fear them voting.

Excellent post
