🆕 SUBSTACK: Reform is still high on the political agenda, which is fine, but the messaging and the rhetoric is all wrong.
And at one point in the last 24 hours I'd almost reached the end of my tether.

The Nasty Party latest 😒
The question is, are they capable of that? 🤪
Reform's task is simple: they must simply select people and policies such that they are not so obnoxious that they are the least-liked, must-keep-out-at-all-costs option for all the other parties www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Tactical voting at next election could push Reform into fourth place, poll finds
Polling suggests Andy Burnham is attracting progressives back to Labour, motivated by desire to stop Nigel Farage

The way Badenoch speaks to us is so arrogant given how wrong she often is.
A big no to her use of “we” when she says “we don’t want freedom of movement”
The country generally doesn’t understand FOM, just as the Brexit rightwing wanted, merging it deceitfully with their ruinous immigration obsession.

Taxpayers spend money on an awful lot of things I might disagree with. It's not for me to dictate what they spend money on. Nor is it for them to tell benefit claimants what do do.

I cheered when, after @bbcnickrobinson suggested now that this was “telling people how to spend their own money”, @Helen_Whately replied “This is taxpayers’ money”. Exactly.

I just caught sight of a video of Rowan Atkinson discussing Mr Bean. It never actually occurred to me he doesn't have a known first name. 😂 The character didn't need one.
You take "Mr Bean" for granted.

The scenario is fictitious of course but what a great insight into the kinds of things that go on in the machine of government. Led by people from various parties and governments

It’s been too long since I’ve read a post from “The Bear”.
I think highly of his work and his political instincts. This makes for important and sobering reading.

I Left Twitter a Year Ago. Going Back Confirmed It Was The Right Decision.
A year after quitting the platform that helped grow my audience, I went back to see what had changed. The answer was: not much, except perhaps the darkness.
