Reform lies
Great idea not to mention that the entire saving was made in the year ending March 2025, two months before Reform took over.

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

So a former member of Farage's campaign team in Clacton (who was expelled from the party) says they lied about how much was spent on Farage's campaign in 2024, and submitted fraudulent election returns. This could be interesting, especially since the story has broken in the Telegraph.

Here I am with Reform councillor Andrew Harrison, who was one of a group of people fined over £1m for employing illegal workers. Like all good patriots, he hates immigrants, apart from the ones he can exploit for profit.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:

‘What’s going on?’ asks Laura Kuenssberg - suddenly fired up with Labour.
Funny how that energy was missing during 14 years of Tory rule.
So the real question:
Where were you then, Laura?
Your scrutiny felt absent, and Boris Johnson, whom you once called ‘gifted politician’, never got this heat.

- Strict conflict‑of‑interest & anti‑corruption laws with penalties
- No titles, honours or peerages for donors
- No govt contracts for donors
- Publish every donation/lobby meeting
…that’ll do it.
