The party is polling, on aggregate, nine points lower than the day she took over, even with every right-wing media shoulder to the Badenoch wheel for several months now, and Reform in free fall, they have managed a one-point improvement since their party conference last year.

How can Premier League fans have any faith the rules, refereeing or outcomes of games are even, fair, equitable, and even handed. The other 14 Premier League clubs should be calling for a vote of no confidence in Richard Masters and his 'hooky' PL board. @cweatherspoon.bsky.social

Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."
It does raise this point of two-tiered
justice..


Reform's Sarah Pochin believes the
sentence handed to the 64-year-old who
blew up a ULEZ camera was
disproportionate'.

Just for clarity I did quote GfP properly. They asked that a fairly long quote be used in full. I replied to say that for story-length reasons that was probably not possible but that I’d fairly précis anything not used in full. Which I did. They did not object to this in advance.
