Reform UK is now the Trump Takeover Party. It is a trojan horse for the UK to become part of the USA in all but name.
We can defeat this position. It's not politically popular here. But they do have bags and bags of money.

Maybe because middle class women of a certain age are in a position to call out this shit without fear of losing a salary they need. And can do it on behalf of young women starting out in their careers who are just as sick of this shit but can’t say anything because they need to earn a living.

Imagine if Nick Drake had had the faintest notion his music would travel this far, and this long.
Nick Drake passed 50 years ago today; and initially, I was going to post Road, or something darker from Pink Moon. But instead, here's something more uplifting, to celebrate, rather than mourn.

We can’t have another referendum on Brexit because that was the will of the (lied to) people 8 years ago…
But we’re supposed to have another general election despite having had one 4 months ago
