Her super-loyalty to the #LabourParty blinds her to the #truth - & one of these truths is that the #aid #cuts & #Labour #asylum & #immigration #policies are contradictory. They want people to remain in their #home #countries, but are making it less possible for them to do so.

Of course, everyone is greatly relieved that #Orban has been thoroughly driven out. Now he has to prove whether things will get better under #Magyar.

Orban will likely neither understand nor acknowledge that the majority in #Hungary was fed up with him and his backward #dictatorial #policies. Such insight is incapable of such people, which of course includes Trump in particular.
