Orwell wrote: “In England all the boasting and flag-wagging... is done by a small minority. The patriotism of the common people is not vocal or even conscious.” Someone tell Reform, writes @arusbridger.bsky.social.

Nigel Farage has no idea how to be a prime minister

The Reform leader undoubtedly has charisma, but lacks the judgement, gravitas or respect for truth needed to lead a country

I'm picking up another garbled message from someone in Reform, Captain....

'Let's shine the spotlight, the disinfectant of sunshine on some of these issues'

Cover by Bill Everett.

Journey Into Unknown Worlds #13 (1952). On the cover, a man in a dark room is shining a flashlight on a woman, and the portion of her body coming under the light is revealed as a skeleton. She shouts “You fool! I warned you never to shine a light on me!”
