Just had dogsh*t put through the letterbox - a Reform UK letter.

This envelope was enclosed. Royal Mail will bill Reform 48p for each of these sent back to Reform.

So I've printed this scan on 100 sheets of cheap paper and chopped them to 400 units - and dropped them in a letterbox.

Crack on.

Welcome to my daily thread on Day 1369 of the full invasion of Sudetenland (Sudety)... oh sorry, Ukraine. I just get mixed up with the similarities of a Nazi leader being appeased by an old white guy displaying cowardice.

This is the Ukraine thread on Sunday 23 November 2025.

Russia drafted a 28 point surrender plan, handed it to the Trump team, and the regime delivered it to Kyiv unedited, demanding Zelensky sign it by Thanksgiving or lose all US support. Trump and Vance then promoted the plan exactly as Russia wrote it, verbatim, on TV, online, and in person.

1/ Some of the loudest 'patriotic' British accounts on X are Putin tools.

'God Save Great Britain' posts Russian anti-Ukraine propaganda while peddling the anti-woke, 'defend our culture', islamophobic, migrant hysteria messages that are at the core of Russia's current hybrid war propaganda.

Not sure the new Labour message ‘Farage is right don’t vote for him’, is going to work.
Yes, our Labour Home Secretary really did just post this on Twitter.

It's not an AI hoax. More's the pity.

Deep breath, once more for those at the back, seeking asylum is not illegal. No matter route used, which considering Labour has closed pretty much all the last remaining alternatives means irregular ones.
Anti-immigration sentiments are stoked by politicians like Mahmood, not people seeking safety.

Can somebody tell the PM and Chancellor that leaking possible policies to check the reaction is something that should only be done when writing a manifesto, not when actually governing.

Either that or they've got a sabotage issue.

I’m going to start a running thread to catalogue the examples of the Government refusing to use power to safeguard itself, and British democracy from the obvious right wing populist threat.

Call it #WeimarStarmer

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*
