Reform is a party that says things that appeal to racists, fields racist candidates, fawns over racist world leaders, made a convicted racist guest of honour at their conference, and whose leader refuses to outright deny having racially abused people.
If only there were a word for such a party.

Bitter disappointment ensues. The key is to find the sweet spot between standing close enough to grab the seat if it becomes vacant and not being overbearing. They'll move eventually.

Meanwhile, if anyone thinks there are are many Reform voters who think "I have zero trust in Labour on immigration, the small boats are still arriving, but *this* latest gesture at hardline policy is the one that will make me look again" I have a bridge to sell you. So who is this policy for?

Yup -- Gong is still massively good value and Kavus Torabi is a top notch front man. This is the iteration of Feelgood that came to Allendale: youtu.be/C_4bcZHeNKc?...

We had Dr Feelgood play our village hall (the Trigger's Broom version, much like the iteration of Gong that played last month). But still blisteringly good and "riffs" were definitely the order of the day. (Also, we are spoilt with our little Northumberland village's ability to host amazing gigs).
