So, er, I have the main story on the front page of the @thenewworldmag.bsky.social. Not bad for a random guy with a blog that got out of hand.

Reform’s shambolic Kent experiment

The catastrophic mess at Kent County Council shows what happens when a populist party, with no idea how government works, gets into power

#Congrats to Holly Davies, the newest Town Councillor for Pershore!

Winning with 70% of the vote, Holly is now the youngest member on the Council, taking the mantle from Cllr Dan Boatright-Greene, who as you can see isn't disappointed in the slightest!

Can I remind people as much as there is a shout Trump faked his assassination attempt that one man DID die that day. Let's not turn in to complete flat earthers in an attempt to call out these people we don't like. It just makes us look stupid.

I have noticed though that while most on the left didn't like Kirk, they are still calling it out like proper human beings should. That's the difference between humanity and brazen politicking.

Caring about other humans even if you disagree with them is the epitomy of who we are as a species

Despite his idiotic rhetoric, killing Charlie Kirk serves only to make him a Martyr in the eyes of his fan base. He may have said that having a few gun deaths was worth it but that doesn't mean he should be murdered. Take em out with words, not guns.

Liberal Democrat campaigner Paul Jagger has poked fun at the so-called “Raise the Colours” campaign after spotting that a majority of the Union Flags outside Perdiswell have been put up the wrong way up.

This is all just magnificent. I would use up my superlatives on the Badenoch piece but then I’d have none left for the bit about online ‘pile-ons’. Well worth a subscription.
