Mail is running a poll on whether the UK should rejoin the EU. Takes seconds to vote and it's going hilariously well... www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.

Reform fury as someone else wins
by Our By-election Editor
Tim Shipsink
The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost
comprehensively to someone else.
"It's totally unfair and rigged,"
said Goodwhinge.
"I shouldn't
be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost."
Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me.
Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X.
"We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families."
Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice.
They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green."
Reform leader
Mr Farage,
speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said,
"It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

PLUMBER DEFEATS
MATT GOODWIN

Among the many, many reasons this is nuts: the bulk of British Muslims are Sunni, while Iran is a Shia theocracy. Sunni-Shia rivalry and mutual hostility goes back roughly a thousand years and has played as large a role (if not larger) as Protestant-Catholic rivalry/conflict in Europe

Farage says there will be an election before 2029 because of a fiscal crisis. The problem here is defining what is meant by a fiscal crisis, but I suppose a gilt edged strike? (as was threatened in the 1970s). Will there be a fiscal crisis in 2026? (I don't mean extra taxes).

Interesting that Tory at uni Nick Robinson had a real go at Richard Tice on BBC Radio 4 this morning, first time I have seen or heard that at the BBC. Are they beginning to realise Reform can't just be given unchallenged publicity?

The Times says today there are going to be 'huge' tax rises in the Budget. Leaving aside one outlier, most forecasts of the gap are around £20bn. Quite a lot, but doesn't need huge rises.

I'm very much a flag liberal (people should be able to fly whatever flags they like so long as they own the flagpole), but the political obsession with flag culture wars just shows how dominated British politics has become by spectacle over substance.
