Last weekend, I had broken a story about Reform UK 'fixing' a competition for one of their long term supporters to win.

Byline Times scooped it. Jeremy Vine covered it. The Trawl featured it.

Last night, Have I Got News for You also included it.

A decent week really! 😊

Reform UK has a new billionaire backer with an 'interesting' past.

Is it in the public interest for us to know about his 'criminal' background?

My article on Farage’s prize draw shenanigans.

Good plan.

Keep meaning to post but you know how I like to ramble so I’m limited here. 😂😂

Will try and make more of an effort.

Done. ✔️

Hi Andy.

Yes, of course. I’ll do it now.

What an absolute nightmare.

🗼WELL I NEVER🗼

Would you believe that Ray and June, who won the Reform UK energy bills prize, go back all the way to the Brexit Party with Farage?

Here they are with Farage, Widdecombe and Bull [a truly awful supernatural detective thriller].

What better way to start your bank holiday Monday than two new EPs of @noholdspod.bsky.social

Lots of insane war chat, Labour lobbying and Reform sank to their very lowest point … so far.

Oh, and Ryan Bridge was arrested. 🥳

Reform UK performed an illegal lottery. And no one seems to care. Are they really above all accountability?

If you're not following us at @noholdspod.bsky.social — two new EPs dropped over the weekend.

The corruption of war and Reform's Matt Goodwin stuck in a hole [of his own digging].

@badassmutha.bsky.social and I got into quite a lot of war stuff, and Reform Roundup™ was a long one.

Whatever happened to Reform UK's Black Shirt raffle, I hear you wonder?

Who were the lucky winners and what good cause did they donate to?

I waited the requisite three months and submitted a Freedom of Information request to Westminster City Council.

EP 56 — Pushing Prices — is out now.

@badassmutha.bsky.social gave an excellent explainer of why Trump is failing in the war against Iran.

Rupert Lowe STILL doesn't have a political party.

Joey Barton is back in his natural environment — prison. 😂

Some geezer has written about the problems of influence and bias in the media.

Seems decent. 😉

EP 55 — Poetry & Posturing is out.

@badassmutha.bsky.social ROCKS A BERET!

We had a pod first disagreement. @donmcgowan.bsky.social was attacked by Oakshot and Tice. Spies in Scotland and Wales.

Who could be the 21st Century Lord Haw-Haw? Rupert Lowe still doesn't have a political party.

When we recorded the last ep of the pod, things were looking up. It was happy and positive.

The Green Party and Hannah Spencer's amazing by election victory.

The next EP may be a bit more bleak!

But enjoy some happiness for now.
