Just to be clear, 172 Labour MPs demanded Corbyn go a year before he got 40% at a general election.

But not 1 thinks Starmer should resign for this disgrace.

No wonder the party polls 17% now.

So nobody told Starmer that Mandelson had failed security vetting?
What was that comment about him sitting at the front of the DLR, thinking he's driving the train?

Reform slammed for getting name of council wrong on local election leaflets The leaflets were due to be distributed in South Tyneside ahead of the local election, which takes place next month

Reform are so flipping incompetent that they can't even get my councils name correct. It's South Tyneside council, not South Shields.
How anyone can think this lot could run a bath let alone a council is beyond me.
