He drinks tea all day, apparently lots and lots of tea and leaves the bag in. Oh, wow. So its industrial strength. Keir starmer apparently drinks coffee and then maybe a bit of tea later on in the day. Isnt a snacker, though. Apparently no sweet tooth, just the occasional bag of crisps. So what did they eat in the height of it all . In the middle of the day . I mean, obviously, these people eat something, maybe anything they can get. I mean, keir starmer admitted recently, actually, even though hes a vegetarian, hed had a box of chicken at some point at the end of a long day. Well, whatever theyre eating, we were wrong on this cast, this podcast, but the date i was told to go long, you had various dates, you had a close race. You were the closest.

We have seen that here in london in susan halls campaign, where she has joined facebook groups that incite against the labour candidate sadik khan, that is the politics of hate that this party, a Mainstream Party of government has allowed to happen, allowed to divide people in our country.
