Ridiculous. Nigel Farage is part of a great entertainment machine. He is not someone who can govern this country. Reform is a giant ego trip, not a serious programme of alternative change. Nigel Farage provides amusement and diversion. What he does not provide is authority and good governance. In this country, whoever we vote for in the end, the British people choose authoritative, sensible managers, whether from the left or the right. What they don’t do, is go in for the performative politics that Nigel has made such a successful financial career out of.

It is definitely worth checking all three of these to make sure your tactical vote is used in the best way possible:

• GetVoting.org

• StopTheTories.vote

• Electoral Calculus (Not a tactical voting site, but gives you more insight into your constituency, which can help you be sure the two above are giving the best advice.)

If you’re really not happy with the party the tactical voting sites recommend for your constituency, Compass are also offering the Win As One vote swapping tool, where you can be paired up with someone who also can’t vote the way they would like to. By swapping votes, both people can do what they have to for a tactical victory while still having their first choice counted.

I know right? I suspect Keir Starmer would be much more popular if he was as weirdly hot as Keirbot.

Now there’s a sentence I never thought I would say/type.

Starmer bots appear to be highly effective. I hear Labour are considering a rollout across the country.

Look, I’ve been searching all morning, and I simply cannot find a violin tiny enough for Sunak’s horribly deprived childhood.

Which is obviously ridiculous because there is nothing more authoritarian than gravity.

Here’s hoping for the abolition of gravity in a few decades, then.

Yep. Talk of “the nation’s credit card” being “maxed out” has caused so much damage to the country.
