Theoretically, if this label were to be affixed to a box containing something heavy - a large rock or housebrick, to pick something entirely at random - the postage charged would be considerably higher. Theoretically.
Just had dogshit put through the letterbox - a Reform UK letter.
This envelope was enclosed. Royal Mail will bill Reform with each of these envelopes delivered to them.
So I've printed this scan on 100 sheets of cheap paper and chopped them - 300 units - and dropped them in a letterbox.
Crack on.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Crypto is the preserve of criminals. At best, it’s used by people intent on concealing transactions and, in doing so, avoiding tax.
Tax is the subscription we all pay to live in a civilised society. It funds the NHS, and therefore tax avoidance ultimately means people die.

McSweeney’s mentor, vile brexiteer Maurice Grossman, is knee-deep in Bannon and Trump - the only Labour figure invited to the inauguration. McSweeney is knee deep in Murdoch, spent entire royal visit with Rupert.
Grossman & McSweeney are Starmer’s bosses. Of course Starmer can’t sack McSweeney.

Labour’s messaging is appalling. That lies with McSweeney. His mentor, Maurice Grossman, is a Reform-minded thug, personal friend of Steve Bannon, the only Labour figure to attend Trump’s inauguration.
McSweeney has no regard for Labour values, fixated on selling a watered-down version of Reform.
