Reform candidate for Swansea in the upcoming Welsh elections steps down.
Very strong statement.
"Politics is a dirty game, but Reform has sunk deep into the sewer when it should have been a beacon of decency."
This tallies with what many long-term Reform members have been telling me for some time regarding frustration at what they see as an increasingly dictatorial style from Farage and those close to him.

After Robert Graves’s I, Claudius, and Yourcenar’s Memoirs of Hadrian, my other favorite all-roads-lead-back-to-Rome fictional memoirs is this epistolary jewel
My girlfriend upon learning that I'd bought four more science fiction novels tonight: "Oh, so you've worked out some sci fi solution for storing them? Like an interdimensional portal or something?"
This is my last working Monday before I go down to three days a week. It’s going to be a bit of a financial hit but I feel it will help my work-life balance. I plan to visit historic places, go for long walks and try not to worry about all the work I have to do on Tuesday!
Have a great week all.

@HannahIamthest1 I always ask them if they are prepared to let Jesus into their hearts. With an Elvis Presley style Southern state accent. The line goes dead pretty quickly.
I love scam phone calls.
I pretend I’m an old Yorkshire lad, desperate to pay them.
My record’s an hour.
I kept putting them on hold to “check my wallet,” yelling at my cat, and asking if they could speak up because my hearing aid was acting up.
Then I spent 30 minutes reading my card details wrong… real slow.
At one point, I told them my kitchen was on fire
Great fun 😆
Do you think most of the UK media and most of the people who work in it are a pathetic joke who have let the country down?🤔
