There really is something sulphurous about Matt Goodwin. Incendiary views. Suspect opinion polls. Massive self-obsession. British public life would be so much better without him.

In his own words…

There are now more members of Liz Truss' Cabinet in Nigel Farage's team than in Kemi Badenoch's team.

Reform now has Boris Johnson’s… - chancellor (Zahawi) - communities sec (Jenrick) - culture sec (Dorries) - attorney general (Braverman) - political sec (Kruger) - skills minister (Jenkyns) - Northern powerhouse minister (Berry) - health minister (Caulfield) - parliamentary private sec (Nici) - assistant whip (Holloway) - Scottish minister (Offord) The old band getting back together

The new @TNLUK website is even worse than the previous one. Do they have anyone working in 'customer experience' we can feed back to?

Cancel your World Cup tickets, cancel your travel plans to the US. Embargo the fuck out of us. Sanction our athletes, our businesses. Do whatever you gotta do, world.

Reform UK's director for Wales has been removed from Cwmbran Community Council for failing to attend meetings. David Thomas is also goes by the names "DJ Dowster" and "Dr Squeegees" (I am not joking). He once posted a picture of himself "officially opening" a Lidl in his area though the supermarket says that no ceremony had taken place... You can find out more about Dr Squeegees in our special report on Reform (see below). (Props to @NewsatTwm for breaking the story)

I'm confident nobody will share this.

@chris1701G @WhatsOnStage This was definitely the most thrilling theatre I saw this year. A stunning concept and design.

What was the best show you saw this year?

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

@TheKennelClubUK How come you’re excluding people without a dog from joining your new club and getting information?

It’s happening… Durham: 4.9% Worcestershire: 5-10% Warwickshire: ~5% Leicestershire: 3%* Kent: 5% Lincolnshire: 2.9-4.9% Staffordshire: ~5% West Northamptonshire: 5% Derbyshire: 4.99% North Northamptonshire: 4.99% Nottinghamshire: 4.84% Lancashire: assumed 5% *subject to change.

A huge poll has just dropped in Welsh Politics. The poll from YouGov/Cardiff University suggests votes in the Senedd election will be: - Plaid Cymru - 33% - Reform UK - 30% - Labour - 10% - Conservatives - 10% - Green - 9% - Lib Dem - 6% In terms of seats it would mean: Plaid Cymru - 39 Reform UK - 34 Labour - 10 Conservatives - 6 Green - 4 Lib Dem - 3 This is absolutely damning for Labour. For detailed analysis check out the full break down in my news letter (see pinned tweet)

🚨 NEW: Green leader Zack Polanski is now the most popular party leader according to new polling Zack Polanski: -1 Ed Davey: -4 Kemi Badenoch: -10 Nigel Farage: -12 Keir Starmer: -43 Net approval, @OpiniumResearch 2,050 adults, 10-12 Dec

How the BBC & ITV give disproportionate coverage to Farage & Reform: hard evidence from a serious study. BBC & ITV now give Reform more coverage than the Conservatives, more than the Lib Dems & nine times the Greens. Superb research from @Stephen_Cushion. enhancingimpartiality.com/blog/broadcast…
