Gove editing the Spectator.
Farage everywhere.
All of them shamelessly honking out their ‘Listen to me!’ garbage, as the country flails around in the unbelievable mess they’ve made.
Nauseating.

Absolute perfection. #Reform
Our Granddad is 100 and fought in D-day and he thinks Farage is the right man to sort Britain out. He says he reminds him of one of the commanders he fought alongside with distinction. In the next few weeks he's going to auction off his medals and donate all the money to Reform. Anyone know how much an Iron Cross is worth?

The UK now has 86 designated zones (12 Freeports, 74 Special Economic Zones/Investment Zones), now being consolidated into "Industrial Strategy Zones", plus AI Growth Zones launched by Starmer in January 2025 with over 200 bids submitted so far.
