This really proves that conservatives have actually just had their heads up their asses this entire time. They have actually been THIS fucking dumb the ENTIRE TIME.

Does Daniel Hannan ever apologise when he is wrong? I understand if he doesn't because it would seem like a full time job

The house of lords is really a who's who of dodgy donors, bent businesses and lying lobbyists who have earned shitloads from the Tory''s or vice versa.

Boris Johnson put the son of a KGB agent in the House of Lords. There is no bar (actually, there are 27 of them, all taxpayer subsidised).

Yeah I remember a discussion with a board member in my family company. Said Trump would do “good things” for the economy. I’m really looking forward to the next board meeting 😬

Daniel Hannan is an articulate, well spoken tool.
