Private Eye | Nick Candy
: Candy cash saga
FOR a man brought in by Nigel Farage as Reform UK's treasurer, charged with raising an election-winning war chest, Nick Candy's own commercial prowess is increasingly hard to discern.

Can we make a law that when someone dies, newspapers print a photo with the news, of them in their pomp; not the most recent, oldest picture they can find?

How are UK passport rules changing for British dual nationals?
Entry requirements to the UK for dual nationals are being overhauled as part of sweeping changes to the immigration system.

It is strange, is it not, to look upon a man who is not merely the richest in the world but the richest ever to have lived, a man who owns both his own sports car company and his own ROCKET SHIP company… and to feel for that man not a hint, not even the faintest glimmer of envy…?

The story of Dracula is inherently sexual. There are so many themes of sexuality in the book that adaptations then have to capture.
A version of Dracula that understands this perfectly is Sesame Street's The Count.

Goodnight from midweek football training at the Hollybush Ground, where all the changing room gossip is about who bewitched Lee Stone. Goodnight from Pamela Goose, transfixed as a patch of green mist moves above the frost-hardened furrows of Scuffer’s Acre. Goodnight from Hookland.

"I see you have a new sword," the swordmaster said. "May I have a look?"
"No," said the student. "It is a cursed blade. I would only draw this in dire need."
"What kind of curse? Must draw blood, or will betray you?"
"It will speak, and tell an embarrassing truth about both wielder and opponent."

Important thread from a dedicated Member of Parliament on the sheer workload 👇
Good overview of the workload on staff and MPs, and what the role of the MP is/could/should be.
I prioritise dealing with casework quickly over replying to policy emails because e.g. helping a person access disability support is more important to me...

The workload facing MPs and their staff is growing, in ways that aren't visible to the public: casework and the inbox.
For @thehousemag.bsky.social, I delved into what the workload looks like, why it's growing, and what this means for how MPs can balance the different aspects of their role

What an odd thing Reform in the UK is…
You’d think a brand, spanking new party would be full of new ideas, but instead it’s literally full of the same people who devastated the country with 14 years of terrible policy under the Tories.
It’s a branding refresh.
