They probably should explain to the Murican government that we in Europe have something called freedom of speech and that governments, and especially foreign governments, do not have the right to censor specific words that happen to offend them.

True, it is very unlikely that this will directly lead to anything. However, it might at least force Labour to clarify where they stand. Tories and Reform are against rejoining. LibDem, SNP, Plaid, and Greens are for rejoining. And Labour are officially against rejoning... right now, but it was still definitely a mistake to leave in the first place and they would undo it if they could. This debate would hopefully start Labour on a path to step down from the fence.

Let's not just blame the orange one and the couch fucker. You also had their cadre of far-right "journalists" who took a break from their normal conspiracies to get into a fight about Zelensky's choice of clothes.

That's obviously not good. However, there are of course levels in hell and "hard-right" here seems to include some, but not all, ECR parties, plus all of PfE, and all of ESN. I'm not a fan pf any of them, but some of the parties behind the numbers are a far bigger worry than others; as they differ a lot on crucial topics.
