Anyway, things turned out quite badly. In the summer, we had the horrible attack in Southport, followed by devastating riots, spurred on in part by newly elected MP Nigel Farage, who amplified fake news reports that the man involved in the Southport attack was known to British security services.

Felt like we hadn't said it for like five minutes. You can see how it happens. You have a sort of ongoing blue joke and then, oh, now it's turned. Now it's turned about the moment. I just feel like, you know, if we're going to chat about the budget, the Grinch hat is very nice.
