Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

Thing is with "holding Farage to account" is that Davey expects Farage to get the same treatment as him from the BBC when Farage is the leader of a 2 year old party with hardly any comparative members, funding, and only a handful of MPs that were only elected last year. Since Reform now have control of some councils they will start to be "held to account" but they are not one of the main political parties. Their funding is a fraction of the Lib Dems.

Can work.

Agree

Also be parents

Through not being careful

, go to war.

No, 16 year olds in the British army don't get deployed

Its better everything harmonise on 16, like it does in civilised countries

It's a daft idea

Yeah they're catching up on funding due to tory donors defecting - but as I've said thats only started happening in the last year. Lib Dems have been getting millions for decades.
