Apparently Suella Braverman's defection was delayed as Farage was worried she'd drag Reform too far to the far right.

Inspired by Trump, I'm setting up a Board for Not Killing Rabbits. So far the membership is Mr. McGregor, Elmer Fudd, and Annie from Fatal Attraction.
I predict we'll Make Allotments Great Again.

Will the Blake's 7 remake go woke and have an Avon Lady?
NB As pleased as I am with this, there a significant number of parts to this joke that I don't fully understand.

How to have a sustainable family ski holiday: take the train and head high
Cut out flying and you shred skiing’s carbon footprint. And opting for a high-altitude resort that needs less artificial snow makes it even greener. Les Arcs in the French Alps ticks both boxes

Welcome to new Bluesky users.
Here’s how we do things:
1. Always observe the Hambledon Protocol
2. No flisking
3. If someone tealights you, rink them without apology
4. I don’t mind them so much, but tissue-posts are generally frowned on
5. No questions
Good luck!
