£450 a flag spent by Reform councils! No wonder they’ve had to put up council tax. Just one of the facts I learned in this week’s @thetrawl.bsky.social (also - I’m backing @jemmaforte.bsky.social and @marina-purkiss.bsky.social for the new presenters of Strictly).

Nobody had even heard of Katie Lam outside of Westminster until about two weeks ago.
Literally all it takes to be considered "brilliant" and a "rising star" on the right of British politics now is just a willingness to say something slightly more racist than all of your competitors

Wild that this was his nick name. 🤢 And based on such a rank story too
Then again, I also wrote to Jimmy Saville and asked if I could turn round and change into Wonder Woman.

Trump said his $250,000,000 gold ballroom wouldn’t touch the White House.
Then came the bulldozers.
While ordinary Americans struggle to buy groceries he installs chandeliers cos nothing says ‘man of the people’ like prioritising somewhere to entertain billionaires.
Gold-plated delusion
