Last week we had the Budget. Robert Jenrick said he wouldn't bother to watch it, and Nigel Farage failed to appear because he was scared of a Lib Dem MP. Then when Reform do finally pop up to talk about the economy it's to effectively call for the nationalisation of Poundland...

“I am a Jewish woman being called antisemitic. I don’t think you would sit here & lecture somebody of any other religion or race on what counted as bigotry or racism towards them in the way you have explicitly called me antisemitic..I don’t think you would do that

You can have a level of wealth unimaginable to most humans and still, at the end of the day, you're left with yourself.
I think we should reduce it to 40. Twenty-odd years having to work is enough?

Lot this morning about Reform's "vetting". When some of the most senior figures embrace Ethno-Nationalism, advocate machine gunning refugee boats and subject Kemi Badenoch to vile racial slurs, what does vetting really mean. What's Reform's decency threshold actually meant to be.

That’s bleakly funny. Very few stand up but their numbers are eventually supplemented when he comes on to recipients of the state pension - which is, I need hardly state, a welfare benefit. Reform is not a party of strivers & wealth creators.
