The formula for Democrats in 2028 is simple:

Leave the far-left fringe behind and focus on Trump and his failures.

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

Smoking ban for people born after 2008 in the UK agreed The "landmark" legislation aims to stop anyone born after 1 January 2009 from taking up smoking to create a smoke-free generation.

The Tobacco and Vapes Bill is one of the most important - and too often overlooked - pieces of legislation in decades.

Creating a smoke-free generation means fewer cancers, less pressure on the NHS, and longer, healthier lives.

Got to give credit to Starmer for owning up to mistakes, taking full responsibility, apologising & explaining everything clearly from start to finish.

More than half of Britons support rejoining EU 10 years on from Brexit vote Experts say Labour’s ‘halfway house’ approach risks losing support from progressives and ‘red wall’ voters

Post Trump world will be more polarized.

Nobody under the age of 28 had a say on Brexit.

Need another referendum.
