Half of Reform left the Tories because they were tired of being associated with a bunch of serially corrupt incompetents. The other half were kicked out because they WERE the serially corrupt incompetents. It's like watching a snake eat itself.

The amazing Emma Monk 👏 Are we happy that citizen journalists like her (or me during Tories), acting with no resources, working in our own time, untrained and unpaid, can so easily expose so much that the BBC, Telegraph and Times *somehow* manage to miss? It's almost like they're not trying.

40-1 Count Binface. £10 wins you £400 1-100 Farage. Probably the safer bet. £5,000,000 wins you 50k. But if Nigel put his £5m on Count Binface & pulled out last minute he'd avoid the Parliamentary Standards investigation & clear £200m. Got to be tempting innit? www.racingpost.com/sport/specia...

Remember that flasks work to keep things cold as well as hot. Fill one with ice, carry a second bottle of water to keep topping it off with, and then you'll have ice cold water all day, instead of for the five minutes it takes for ice to melt in this heatwave.

I don't know where we draw the line. But a riot a week suggests it should have been WAY before this. I'm sympathetic with blocking X in the UK until the owners uphold our laws. Libel. Incitement. Insurrection. Abuse. Hate speech. And sexual harassment. Every single day. It has to stop.
