The super-rich rightwing are pouring money into Reform. Do ordinary voters really think their aim is to even out social inequality and make their lives better? Do they think they’re doing it so Farage invests in infrastructure and public services? Ffs. Democracy being beaten to death in plain sight.

Screenshot from the Met Office weather forecast (position likely for pm today) for the British Isles, online currently. Nasty, nasty weather on its way. First time I’ve ever seen a diagram with three separate low pressure systems over us all in a row like this. Jet stream, I assume.
