Genius idea of the Tory party to change their branding from blue to red. The name change I think helped too. And the country seemed to buy into it and we have another Tory government for the next 5 years… Great. #generalection2024 #SNP

My comment on the report: "We used to think of the combination of undernutrition and obesity as a feature of low and middle income countries. We are now seeing it in Britain in 2024".
