Update.
The Telegraph has now corrected its entirely fabricated claim that 1 in 12 Londoners is an "illegal migrant" and has accepted that this claim was false in *four" separate respects.
However, this has not resolved my complaint to IPSO - I will continue to request a front-page correction.

Reform says it's raising millions - but what has Farage's party done with the money it's received in the past?
I took a deep dive into Reform's 'wholly exceptional' accounts, and found a 'black hole' and some major questions

It is a source of endless frustration for me that the fact Reform is a limited company owned by Nigel Farage isn't given more attention.
Every time that Reform or Farage are interviewed this should be probed and questioned.
They are held to such a lower standard than any other party.

Thought the garden would look mysterious and romantic covered in snow at midnight.
Actually it's giving gothic horror. If I stare too long I can hear the screams of a Victorian child

Cardigans are one of my favourite things about adulthood. You can wear one at any age but you reach a point where you're basically in a relationship with a cardigan and that is peak comfort
ME: I didn't choose the thug life
THEM: you're eating soup in a cardigan at 10:30 on a Tuesday morning
ME: I could not have been more clear

Legacy media outlets are really bad at communicating the harm that will be caused by Trump and Musk.
They should be relentlessly shamed for behaving like far-right bullies, but instead their actions are normalised as part of the “game” of politics

I love wrapping gifts far more than buying or receiving them. This paper is sort of a treat to myself

I'd settle for Cards Against Humanity buying it at this point.

Musk's contempt for journalists stems from his desire to be more powerful than them.
In a world where we're stunt casting roles at the highest level, his celebrity only serves to build his credibility. We will need to break down celebrity to restore any sense of balance.

I have fancy new mics to play with. Is Christmas tree ASMR a thing, do we think? Can I do some branch rustling while I whisper swear words about untangling the lights...?

Joining bluesky after years on TikTok is a bit like staggering into your Nan's house when you still have a hangover
It smells like lavender and nostalgia in here
The calm is almost overwhelming
