Old school gamer. Ex-Labour - it is no longer a Democratic Socialist party. Knows a bit about research + analysis. Comments 100% in a personal capacity.
🚨 | BREAKING: Labour are drawing up plans in partnership with the Department of Home Affairs so a Starmer government could deport anti-social yobs to an Australian detention facility. The potentially controversial crime crackdown policy is designed to win back 'Red Wall' seats.
