Really, Reform UK? THIS is what you're going with? That this man, who served as an MEP next to Nigel Farage for years and was made leader of your party in Wales by current deputy, Richard Tice, is just "one of tens of thousands of people Nigel meets on an annual basis"?~AA

Zia Yusuf knows less about his own party than I do.

Gill is not some rando who once met Nigel.

Gill was Reform Leader in Wales and a close ally of Nigel Farage for over a decade before that across two other political parties. This is not something that can just be brushed away.

I appreciate this thoughtful review of my new book, Coming Up Short. I hope it inspires some of you to give it a read.

not the former Minister for Disinformation, who didn't correct the Savile smear made against Starmer by his boss, spreading more disinformation, surely not
Unless Mr Philp believes that naturalised British citizens should be called "people who are foreign", the correct stat is 17%. He has been misled by Professor Goodwin

Twitter is currently down.

Meanwhile its CEO has been working remotely for months now.

Looks like someone needs to follow his own return-to-office mandate.

I'm surprised at how little that percentage is, tbh. Trying to unpick this ever-shifting, constantly evolving mess will be a prodigious task. Especially as it feels like the dark money culture seems to be in ascendance.

I'd love to ask a question of you. Perhaps you could even make a thread on the topic?
What do you think of cis straight males wearing tights (pantyhose) in colder months?
IMO they're more comfortable and affordable with more variance in warmth than men's Long Johns.

"The trouble for both the UK plants started with Brexit. It caused a lot of uncertainty within business, and business doesn’t like uncertainty.”

"When you’ve got two plants that export 80% of their build, then tariff confusion and no clarity really hurt the two plants.”
