Just a bit extra ache or this nation is completed!
I can not wait till this ghastly, incompetent Prime Minister is thrown again into the obscurity he so completely deserves, however please let or not it’s the voters which does the deed and never his scheming, self-serving detractors.
In different phrases, I hope he survives. If Angela Rayner or Ed Miliband will get into No 10, this nation is completed.
