In exactly one week’s time Trump again becomes the leader of the free world. He’s a disrupter at best and at worst he’s a destroyer. And yet we have all our political journos asking if Reeves has got the economy wrong because the pound has fallen. FFS.

*of course* the Conservative-led Essex County Council voted to ask for a delay in the local elections. They know damn well they'll get an absolute hiding in an election just like last year. This is a very undemocratic move.

A reminder of what Kemi Badenoch said just a few years ago... "It is always a positive thing to see engagement in politics but we run the country based on elections and not petitions..." www.saffronwaldenreporter.co.uk/news/2188696...

I wonder if #Clacton voters were actually being quite cunning. I mean, electing Farage means they'll never have to set eyes on the prick.
