There is a risk to Reform that if they take too many Tories they just start to resemble the 14-year government that the public resoundingly rejected last year. Not sure they’re really thinking through these defections…
Former Tory MP Ben Bradley has now defected to Reform. They really are taking all the worst people from the Boris era.

The ethics of Polanski are staggering

The line here that made my ears prick up (and should really spook Labour) is the third one (that we need “fair and managed” migration). That’s not the answer of someone who has come to get his 12 per cent. That’s a much more “no, when I say I want to replace Labour, I’m not coming to play” line.
Zack Polanski, "Labour are a government of cowards because you won't tell people the truth about migration"
"Migration is a positive thing for our country"
"We need migration"
"We need fair and managed migration"
"And that's what will change this conversation"
*huge clap* #BBCQT

The #England rugby league team are not where they can be partly because Rugby #league is still treated as the poor cousin of union. Until we address this and give the game the respect as it deserves through funding and education, this Dickensian regime is going to continue

This morning my ChatGPT quota was inexplicably exhausted.
It took a while but I pieced it together. Voice mode somehow got activated when I went to bed.
The bot then engaged in a 10 hour conversation with my snoring dog, answering questions the pup wasn’t asking and praising him for his insight.

"Farage & Tommy are fuelled by cheques from billionaires & promotion across their media empires." 🤜
Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.
Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.
This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.
