Farage insisting that he has an inside track to Trump while also not getting invited to the swearing in is bang on brand. As, sadly, is the fact that his dishonesty & humiliation will be ignored by much of the media.

Right now, foxes are being chased to exhaustion and torn apart by hounds—all in the name of ‘tradition.’

Boxing Day remains the biggest day of the year for the fox hunting community.

Please RT to raise awareness and follow us to help end this cruelty for good.

The arrogance of someone who bins an incredibly valuable and successful brand for something he dreamt up yesterday.
For much of my adult career, I’ve been slightly obsessed with smart marketing/branding, particularly of ideas, but of other things too.

Can we all agree that:

1. Twitter was an excellent brand
2. X is an awful brand & a colossally horrible business decision
3. Bluesky is a pretty great brand too

Thank you @bsky.app for suspending the fake account within hours of it being reported. On X there are several fake accounts which have been live for more than a year & X has proved incapable of removing them. What a difference. The sky is most definitely bluer here🙏
