If Frog-face is doing this shaking - it means he's doing from London (or the USA)
Don't want more English influence

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Kemi Badenoch claiming Terry Pratchett as her favourite author is wild

Lucky for Nigel Farage that he never met that bloke who took bribes from the Russians, otherwise the media would be all over it.

I don’t think they’ve invested any money in Scarlets yet; they’ve merely expressed an interest (I also don’t think there’s any money but that’s a whole other story!).

With a little over 48 hours to go until #WondrousEnvironments Kickstarter ends, now seems like a good time to start teasing the many fantastical Locations, Regions, and Adversaries you can find inside.

First up, the Wondrous Locations.

It's my birthday! As a gift, can I ask you to share my art?🙏

I love drawing vibrant fantasy illustrations, especially in the field of TTRPGs. And speaking of TTRPGs, check out the post below for more fantasy goodness ⬇️✨
Illustration of Mollymauk Tealeaf from Critical Role's the Mighty Nein. Molly is sitting and smiling at some shiny moths that are playfully surrounding him. Around him there is an art nouveau inspired arched frame. Illustration of Caduceus Clasy from Critical Role's the Mighty Nein.
Caduceus is sitting with a serene expression, playing with some golden butterflies surrounding him. Around him there is an art nouveau inspired arched frame. Illustration of a blue-skinned character with asymmetrical horns, reminiscent of a half moon. The character is casting a pearlescent, bright spell. They're in a room at night, standing on a decorated pedestal on the floor, in front of shelves full of books. Illustration of a knight and a pegasus, behind them a blue sky with golden sunset clouds.
The knight is wearing shining, ceremonial armour in silver, blue and gold. In one hand he holds his helmet, the other hand is stroking the nose of the pegasus. The knight’s head rests delicately on the horse’s, in a gesture of delicate friendship. The pegasus is raising one of his wings to hug the knight in return of the gesture.

Reform keeps arguing immigration is an issue when it isn’t.

There is a by-election right now in Caerphilly and Nigel Farage’s party keeps saying that immigration is an issue there.

BUT over 97% percent of people in the area were born in the UK.

We need to debate based on facts not scaremongering.

Struck me that he implied that WRU was not run professionally previously

So yes, UKIP/Brexit/Reform are all largely the same party

Brexit/Reform is literally the same party

Yes, Gill was very much Farage’s guy in Wales

The bribes happened during his time as Brexit party MEP with Farage

This is 100% Reform’s man

The logic that as energy has fixed costs that MUST all be paid by a Standing charge is flawed.

Pubs have fixed costs. Yet you don't pay a monthly pub-access-subscription then a unit rate for each pint on top.

A pint's cost incorporates the fixed cost, as many industries' do.

I use this graph a lot.
This chart shows the history of left-handedness in the United States, plotting the percentage of left-handed people by year of birth from 1880 to 2000. The rate begins around 5% in 1880, dips to about 3% by 1900, then rises steadily through the early 20th century. By around 1950, it levels off at about 11–12%, where it remains through 2000. A speech bubble on the chart humorously states, “Left-handedness is over diagnosed,” pointing to the sharp rise during the mid-20th century. The trend reflects how left-handedness was suppressed in earlier generations but became more accepted over time.

Do we have a new anthology project in mind? Oh yes! Find out more here: www.kickstarter.com/...
The cover of They Are Still Here (Mae Nhw Yma O Hyd).

The image is of the sorceror, Gwydion, surrounded by wild animals (wolf, boar, deer) in a Celtic knotwork frame. Gwydion's hat is crowned with antlers. He carries an axe in his right hand and an oak twig in his left.

Reform's plans to end indefinite leave to remain go to the post I wrote last week on their slide towards chaotic authoritarianism.

The British constitution would allow them to do it if they had a majority but at vast cost to our society and way of life.

Remind people they are funded by ex Conservatives fundees- big banks and oil companies
And Reform is still a company, I think so "members" have little say but Frog-face gets the money
