Today is #NationalBiscuitDay so you're probably wondering what biscuits our politicians are most similar to...
Rishi Sunak = Rich tea - rich but disintegrates when in hot water
Keir Starmer = Viennese whirl - people think they're posh but they're not
Jeremy Hunt = McVitie's Chocolate digestives - you're not left with much money when you get them
Angela Rayner = hob nob - people who put them in hot water are surprised when they emerge unscathed
Lee Anderson = party rings - childish and turn up at a lot of different parties
Nigel Farage = garibaldi - only popular with old people

Whether the #generalelection is in July or not, please make sure you have your photo ID in place now, so when the time comes, we can vote out this lying, self-serving shower of shit.

Truly chilling speech from Rishi Sunak.
I agree with him on one thing: there is a group in the UK that is harbouring extremism, spreading division and threatening our democratic freedoms.
But it’s not Muslims. It’s the Conservative Party.
