As Tice tries to weaponise every opportunity, he exposes his stupidity & ignorance. He's misunderstood the central message of the Aesop fable 'The Hare & the Tortoise' as well as the point of the Times cartoon.

They won't care about the intricacies of the fable, what matters is how it looks. It looks like Labour's appeasing Reform Ltd, which is what they shouldn't do: never appease Fascists; it just validates them. How can Labour *not* understand this? #StopFascism.
