Now that Farage has ditched the £ for crypto, presumably he won’t object if the UK does the same and joins the €.

I'm just relieved nobody is talking about how I said I bought a house in Clacton, then admitted it was in the name of my girlfriend, Laure Ferrari, even though she couldn't afford £885,000, which conveniently meant I avoided £44,000 in tax.
Please don't share.

But on a visit to the former railway town last month, the outlook for Sir Keir and his party was bleak. "I'll be voting for Reform - it can't get any worse," said pensioner John Doult, until now a lifelong Labour voter who was among the thousands employed in the town's once-famous car industry. The 86-year-old bemoaned the "terrible" state of the town centre,

“I’ll be voting for Reform - it can’t get any worse”

Oh it really can.

You put a bunch of corrupt, racist, incompetent, lying Trumpists in charge and things will get very much worse.
Potholes and empty shops will feel unimportant compared to the loss of the NHS, social care and a torched economy.

The last person in this country I am going to listen to on the question of honesty is Nigel Farage.

James Bembridge on X: Hate is too weak a word for what I feel towards the NHS. I'd tear it down and salt the earth upon which it stood.

Lovely people, these Reform UK candidates for the upcoming election, and great to know they're on our side.

BBC News leading all its bulletins on demands by former Government advisor Lord Robertson for more defence spending, without at any point mentioning his current paid senior role for US defence lobbyists

One advantage of renewables that doesn’t get discussed much is that their power generation is more dispersed than old-style power stations, which makes them more difficult for hostile forces to sabotage. Offshore wind farms are probably the most vulnerable, but less so than long pipelines & cables.

Every UK politician on this list should be investigated, this is Putin’s hybrid war (stoking culture wars in the west), taking his money is outrageous. Toby Young is either deliberately complicit or a useful idiot; either way it is treasonous behaviour.

That’s one off my list then for my Hadrians Wall hike.

Thank you to Mike F Shaw.

Electoral fraud? Gerrymandering? Voter intimidation? Postal ballots? How much more transparent does it have to be, for them to see that Reform LTD is literally getting its talking points from the USA.

Gerrymandering isn’t a thing in the UK for crying out loud!

It’s many decades since the Torygraph could be considered a serious newspaper.

Thanks, but it’s the physical limitations of my home and planning restrictions that are the problem.

This is what he thinks people do when they say they are working from home, because that is the sort of thing he would do.

They need to get on with this. I would love a heat pump for my home but it’s impractical (no suitable location) and too expensive to install. An electric boiler would be much simpler and less costly to install, but much more expensive to operate than my gas boiler under current prices.
