At the rate they’re going with the “Binface as establishment” take, Reform will convince themselves that the Count is actual aristocracy.

Oh, no reason.

fascinatingly* the French news is translating "Count Binface" as « le Compte Tête-de-Poubelle » rather than « Visage-de-Poubelle) which is, in fairness, more accurate (his entire head is a bin, not just his face) typical British media not asking the important underlying questions * ta gueule

Thing is, we didn’t cope. The droughts of 1975 & 1976 were terrible for farmers, the wild fires were relentless, & we had fewer resources to deal with living in the heat. We “got on with it” because employers couldn’t care less about their staff.

Can't get over how tragic it is that King Henry VIII missed out on potatoes by just a few brief years. He would have bloody loved chips. 😞

I think the other parties will find that laughing at Farage and mocking his political choices ('enjoy your summer arguing with a bin') is going to work well for them. I hope this leads them to row back on a lot of policies they put forward when they took him seriously.

What are the chances!

Guessing Farage will step back from politics until 18 months before the next general election when he'll reappear with a new party, probably called Return or something equally unimaginative.

If he resigns, will the donors want the money back?

Happy #Caturday Everyone. Pru did exactly this to me only last week! 😁

Since we live on a planet of oceans it makes sense to create a projection centered around Antarctica to emphasize the role of the oceans. Of all map projections this one probably hurts my brain the most...
