Various Opposition factions led by the Yellowtards and communists are trying to out-WOKE each other

It seems that amongst the warring factions of the Opposition, the contest seems to be about who is the wokest of the lot.

The Opposition is fighting a losing battle – can they STILL win?

The Yellowtards are essentially fighting a losing battle. In fact, they have been for some years now.
