He wouldn’t have wasted $450 million! In the rows in front of the Reform leader, the Liberal Democrats were ecstatic. There are countries closer to Britain than the USA, but none where the villains so helpfully dominate the internet and speak English. To look at Daisy Cooper, you’d have thought that every vote for James Talarico was really a vote to introduce proportional representation to Westminster.
