    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    fingers crossed for nandy, we need a decent opposition.
    starmer if we have to.
    rlb if we all fancy a good laugh as labour collapses in another five years of bile and turmoil.

    I'd argue Labour has already fractured, actually, it's increasingly clear that traditional Labour voters in Scotland have gone over to the SNP which is why Labour now has such a hard time getting seats. Admittedly, the Conservatives don't do well North of the border either but if you'd told me ten to fifteen years ago they'd have more Scottish MP's than Labour I'd have called you a fool.

    As far as the party as a whole collapsing in on itself, there'd need to be a viable alternative first. The Lib Dems could be that, but they'd first need to decide between being a mostly Urban or mostly rural party.

    Reserving comment for only the contents of this article:

    “We live in the most dangerous moment in a generation,” the mailer says in bold white font at the bottom. “Who is ready to lead us?”
    [...]
    “Joe Biden: Strong, Steady Leadership.”
    Sounds familiar.

    Edit: OK, you know what? I should have searched before I posted, because it's no mere resemblance.

    Joe Biden’s first Iowa television ad this summer flashed four quick photos of the former vice president with Barack Obama, along with a tagline about as far as possible from their old “hope and change” rallying cry.

    “Strong, steady, stable leadership,” intoned a gruff narrator.

    I would say it was posted in the wrong topic than spam. Probably meant for the Democrat one.
