Yeah, grim isn't it? Odd thing about British politics, and a stick the tories use to bash the opposition at every opportunity, is that they've had 3 female leaders in their history while labour, the so-called progressive party, have, of course, had diddley squat. But i think the contest to have a female leader who isnt either grossly incompetent or unrestrainedly evil remains very much alive and not sure i can see a resolution anytime soon tbh.Marky Dread wrote: ↑14 Nov 2023, 5:45pmGotcha yep they totally underestimated that one.
