Show this to a flagshagger. They’ll hate it.

Reform isn’t a party. It’s a pyramid scheme. Farage and his billionaire donors aren’t patriots. They’re con men up to their BALLS in foreign money.

This explains how they do it.

Stop believing the bullshit.

It's said by some that Donald Trump has never read a book in his life. He must have read this one ... surely?

This is an exact encapsulation of why I moved to Bluesky.

No amount of handwringing in the Atlantic about how I owe some eternal Promethean suffering to the discourse is going to make me stay on a site I hate, that stopped doing anything for me professionally years ago.

Well – no. Bluesky may or may not be, as one centre-right friend who felt unwelcome put it, “self-righteous island”. But the idea that’s why we went is nonsense. That I’ve largely stopped posting on a site that’s done more to shape my career and social circle than the rest of the internet combined is less about avoiding rival opinions (I love arguing with people who are wrong!) than with the fact the site simply became unusable. It stopped generating the things (good jokes, interesting debate, clicks) I wanted; it became extremely good at generating the things (racists, pornbots, racist pornbots) I did not.

Tax Haven Tice has hinted that he would like to become Chancellor if Reform were in government.

It would be like Liz Truss on… well, whatever it is Liz Truss is on.
