First sentence was all that was needed and is spot on. The final 2 lines that Jim has written are debatable, but then I’m a pragmatist with no party scarf tied round my neck.

By this point it would be news if Reform managed to do something legally.
bbc.co.uk
Investigation into Reform's party for Nigel Farage in Clacton
It says it did not grant permission for the party's late-night Clacton by-election victory event.

The ‘credible threats’ Farage was afraid of was standing next to other candidates that were embarrassing, and those candidates saying embarrassing things. So Democracy and Free Speech then. Farage is scared of Democracy and Free Speech.

So if we don’t allow Athletes to bet on games that they have the ability to influence… Why do we allow Congress to invest in companies they regulate?

How does it work constitutionally if one was to be appointed to Northstead/Chiltern Hundreds and was then subsequently reelected before a new steward was appointed? Seeing as such an appointment disqualifies you from being an MP would you be immediately disqualified again?

Farage resigning as an MP means he will become Steward of the Manor of Northstead, aka the bottom of Peasholm Lake in Scarborough. Luckily it’s a deprived seaside town. So he’ll never visit.

A strangely warm obit for a man who was almost universally unloved. Hopefully his pubs outside of London now also relax & thrive under his son (who already ran the London pubs) and I can finally have my first Sam Smith pint in decades.

In accordance with ancient tradition, our next Prime Minister is announced to the nation while standing between a furry and a man with a bin on his head.
A victorious Andy Burnham MP (24,937 votes), as the result of the Makerfield by-election is announced, flanked by defeated candidates Count Binface (a bloke in a vaguely sci-fi costume with a large bin for a helmet; 95 votes) and Robert Pownall (who is in a full body fox costume, holding a sign reading "Protect British Wildlife"; 18 votes). There are some other candidates there just out of shot but that's not important right now.

A fella just leaned over to me at the counter of a very busy gift shop at an extremely busy North Sea facing Scarborough and told me, dead pan, that he was only at the beach because Keir Starmer has told everyone to stay away from the beach today to allow space for small boats to land.

Being in an area that has never had local elections at the same time as the rest of the country makes you feel like a wallflower. I’m paradoxically both apathetic and also feeling like I’m being excluded from the gossip.

A screenshot of a Facebook post showing a drone image of Scarborough UK beach in with the sea, beach and buildings. On the sand, a local sand artist has raked the sand to form the words "Fuck Trump". He has posted the image to his Facebook with the caption "With love from Scarborough, on behalf of the UK"

So both our shop’s tills use a connected EPOS system with connections to all online marketplaces and Royal Mail. Because internet connection is so important we made sure we had a back up 4G connection with our broadband. Both supplied by Vodafone 🤦‍♀️ It’s been a difficult afternoon.

One of my nominations for Room 101 would be superfluous paper/card on greetings cards. Print the message on a single bit of card that folds once please & I don’t need the greeting on a separate piece of paper. If I give you card like that, it’s a subtle hint that you are not beloved.

Hubby only just learned that when in a restaurant women always sit in the seat where they feel safest. Commented that in our row of tables all the women were in the seat with their back to the wall and didn’t know why. Married nearly 20 years and we still live in different universes.

Fortune Cookie Hack; Add the words ‘in bed’ to the end of your fortune for an amusing ending to your takeaway. Even better let all the adults know the rules and you don’t even need to say it out loud - that way your kids will be confused as to why you are sniggering at your fortune.

Just spoken to a US based customer (I’m UK) confused as to why their repeat order shipped this week is held at the border and going to cost money to release. Yes, it is going to cost more than last month’s identical order. No. However much you say it is, it’s absolutely not our fault.

Are you fucking kidding me? He wanted to leave! He provided fuck all opposition to Brexit. This is no better than Reform promising mad shit but the difference is, unlike JC, Reform can win, even under FPTP but especially with the emergence of Corbyn’s party. He just keeps helping Farage.

So for the last 24 hours we have been harassed by this seagull. From 5am yesterday it has been repeatedly tapping on the window with its beak, or staring coldly at me while I go about my day. Alfred Hitchcock vibes.
A seagull is standing at the window of a seaside house looking menacingly inside. The photo is taken from inside the house and the seagull is looking directly at the photographer with a cold angry expression (if such a thing exists in seagulls)

If you support the right of UK millionaires to live in any other country to avoid tax, you should support the right of workers from any other country to live in the UK and pay tax. At least be consistent.

Look at how stark this: Reform has clear leads among voters who have the lowest life satisfaction, while Labour is ahead among those with the v.highest life satisfaction.Further evidence rise of Reform (and greens) being driven by “I may as well roll the dice” dissatisfaction with status quo

A vote for Reform is not a vote for anything new, disruptive, or ground changing. It's not a vote for working class representation. It's a vote for Tories who left the Tory party because it wasn't cruel and nasty enough.
