So strange that wealthy Brits who left because they didn’t want to pay taxes in the UK to fund services we depend on would gift money from offshore to a party that will cut their taxes (& same said services) so they can come back home.

Net migration is at its lowest level, outside of the pandemic, for fourteen years, small boat numbers are collapsing and yet you still can't move for 'migrant crisis' stories in the British media

Reform's First 100 Days in Norfolk: 'Flag Fights, Resignations, Broken Promises'
A newly-elected Labour councillor charts 100 days of a Reform-run county council – scrapped funds, a resigned chief executive, a lost by-election, and not much sign of the 'laser focus on value for money'

Memo to pretty much (but obviously not quite) everybody in the media…
Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales.
Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37.
They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.

The "hydration break" really is a perfect American capitalist innovation: a nakedly commercial play to insert more ad revenue into a game that doesn't have ads anywhere else in the world, all under the guise of some humanitarian interest in the players' wellbeing.

Today I ‘interviewed’ Facebook whistleblower on stage at Hay…& she couldn’t say a word.
Facebook took legal action to prevent her speaking. What pathetic, pointless vindictiveness.

So that’s two of the “Raise the Colours” organisers now charged with violent crimes & a fifth of the 2024 race rioters with domestic abuse. Makes you wonder whether “innocent patriotism” & “protecting women & girls” are just covers for thuggish racism & misogyny?

Least of issues I know but this "veteran" campaign strategy really winds me up.
Kenyon isn't a veteran and was never mobilised. He was in the British Army Reserve.
People like my father meanwhile fought in actual wars - and though my dad also served as a councillor he'd never ever mention it.
