As the riverbanks we usually visit have been swallowed by the river, we thought we'd do a spot of beachcombing.

We strolled down to Hele Bay this afternoon. It was cold, windy, wet... and beautiful.
Oh, and I have a fondness for limpets.

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.
Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

The Meecemas tree. You can't tell from this photo, but there are a lot more meecers on it this year... Best not put the mince pies too near, just in case...
We've put everything out early this year. December is always busy (though we expect it to be slow and quiet and get caught out!).

Except that’s not true.
Gill was the head of Reform UK in Wales only a few years ago - in 2021.
Gill was constantly seen by Farage’s side since his first election - as a UKIP MEP - in 2014.
Reform must come clean with their Russian connections.

I implore someone, anyone, in the media…
Do your job
And the next time you have Farage on, please ask him directly:
…what were the motivations behind this?

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.
