If you like that, you should find out where “bumf”, the English word for pointless advertising material that comes through your letterbox comes from. I’ll give you a clue, it’s First World War origin for propaganda material sent to men fighting in the trenches.

Hi folks. If you saw this, you know the administration plans to only accept white South Africans next year. Tomorrow is Congress's formal say before the determination is signed. Please check this brief thread on why I'd like you to speak out for the Afghan people still in limbo...

“French” and “covert” are not happy bedfellows. They often get caught and they haven’t necessarily thought through the political consequences of doing so. Not least for the rest of NATO.

I’ve worn a grubby RNLI cap for decades. I sound London, but I was born in Truro and I was a basically feral (Gen X) kid wandering the coast path with a dog until sunset for a lot of my early life. The lifeboats are in the fabric like trawlers and farms and pasties and fish and chips.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

WTAF

Dear Nigel,
5 September 2026
MY COMMITMENT
At Reform UK's conference today, I have publicly committed to increasing the tax-free Personal Allowance to £15,000, in my first Budget called within the first 100 days of a Reform government.
This change would cut taxes for 40 million British taxpayers.
It would take 2.9 million people out of income tax altogether. It would ensure that the State Pension was not taxed.
It would be worth almost £1000 to an average working couple.
It would form the centerpiece of a new bargain with British workers; a new bargain that puts them first, and ahead of welfare cheats, foreign nations, and the bloated civil service.
MY OFFER OF RESIGNATION
This isn't an aspiration, nor is it an aim. It is a promise. It is a promise I made to thousands of party members in Birmingham and millions of voters across the country live and on camera. And it is a promise I plan to keер.
If I do not deliver it, I should not remain Chancellor. Please consider this my letter of resignation.
failing to The British people are sick and tired of Chancellors and Governments deliver on their promises. In business, those who fail to deliver are sacked, not given honours. Reform, as a party of successful businesspeople, will bring that culture to Westminster. The British people deserve accountability and, with you as Prime Minister, they will get it.
Britain is broken. Britain needs Reform. And we must deliver.
Yours sincerely,
Robert Jennick.
Robert Jenrick MP

I’m interested to note that his predecessor in Windsor Adam Afriye was a strong advocate for the Vaping industry; and that “Rankin was placed on the public bill committee for the Tobacco and Vapes Bill in January 2025.” Is money changing hands somewhere unseen in Windsor?

While true, I am not sure that Canada has the scale to make the difference alone nor the desire to crash its own financial stability. The majority of US government debt is held by US bond holders.

His statistic on China is both right and wrong. Yes it produces more greenhouse gas than the UK. But it is electrifying everything much faster and is trying to get towards net zero. of course, like the UK, it is also using fossil fuels to get there.
