i've heard of voting against one's own interests, but this turns it into a fine art

related: Allison Pearson blocked me on the bad place when i challenged her about her conspirabollox about the viral photo of a child sleeping on a hospital floor
me asking allison pearson on twitter to share the link to the telegraph she'd promised to write. her tweet, to which i responded, said "so i have detailed explanation from paediatric nurses explaining why photo of child on the floor is '100% faked'. i will put in @telegraph on weds. stage a photo. cause outrage. castigate people who doubt it for showing insufficient compassion. jesus" of course, it turned out that the photo wasn't faked, and pearson never wrote that article for the telegraph despite all this, she's still a columnist for them

funny you should mention that
extract from Telegraph story: "As we never have the central heating on during the day and I already spend November-April wearing thermals under my clothes, most of which are bought second-hand on Vinted, I can’t see another option. We’ve shopped around for tariffs more frequently than Imelda Marcos bought shoes, and ditched the weekly Waitrose delivery to push a trolley round Lidl. There isn’t a lot of fat left to trim."

i particularly like this bit. i'm guessing they were involved in specifying the "tiresome" induction hob - and in choosing their pans
extract from Telegraph piece: "But for now, I’m cooking supper on the tiresome induction hob usually reserved for the summer that won’t stop beeping at me and is incompatible with half our pans."

reform and ukip: spot the difference

right down to the sausage rolls...
cutting from northants telegraph this week: "Northamptonshire Police are reviewing the circumstances surrounding a free event co-hosted by a Reform UK election candidate in Corby, at which members of the public were supplied with a 'generous and tasty' buffet. Lee Duffy, who already represents Lloyds ward on Corby Town Council, is Reform UK’s candidate in October 9 election for the vacant Lloyds and Corby Village seat for North Northants Council (NNC). The by-election for the seat had been triggered by the resignation of Corby Reform UK councillor Robert Bloom after serious racism allegations." cutting from the guardian in april 2015: " The Ukip leader, Nigel Farage, has defended one of his parliamentary candidates after claims he tried to bribe voters by providing sausage rolls at an event attended by snooker star Jimmy White. Kim Rose, who is standing in Southampton Itchen, laid on refreshments at an event at a local community hall on 21 February, after inviting White to play snooker with children. But the candidate said he was subsequently told to report to Hampshire police over a report that he had been “treating”. Rose told the BBC: “Maybe it’s a bit naive but all the intentions were good. It’s absolutely ridiculous. I’m sure people aren’t going to change their mind for a sausage roll.” Asked about the furore while on the campaign trail in South Thanet in Kent, Farage described it as “utter nonsense”. “There seems all sorts of cases in politics of people behaving badly and doing things wrong, abusing their positions. Having a few sausage rolls I don’t really think counts as one of those,” he said."
