Reform is now the party of workers.
Today I am inviting trade unions to apply for affiliation with Reform UK.
We also welcome union leaders to attend our national conference in September and engage in discussions about the policies of a future Reform government.
The horrific scenes out of Belfast shโฆ.edit and the horrific news out of Manchester should not be used by the Far RightTM to stoke further DivisionTM and HateTM
@CBHeresy@ConceptualJames Itโs also quite weird to see from a British perspective when US friendly fire incidents have killed about the same number of British serviceman that died on the liberty since then
After being publicly 'roasted' by Hugh Laurie and discovering that House fans are even more brutal than trans activists, I felt duty-bound to write about the experience.
My latest for @unherd on celebrity, fandom, social media and what happens when an amusing post from a celebrity with millions of followers puts an ordinary person in the spotlight.

This isn't a hill I'm going to die on, but broadly I think I kind of agree that Pride flags have had their day in politics.
The 2013 same-sex marriage act, civil partnerships, the Equality Act - the legal train is already there. We're in the live-and-let-live space, which is where we should be. That only holds if we don't deny biological reality and don't enforce trans ideology on ourselves. On that narrow basis, we've got fully equal rights.
I think we're still flying the flags by momentum. As conservatives we enshrined the right to marry, the right to civil partnerships, and the rest. Any minority rights movement needs to recognise when it's reached its final destination, and I believe this one has. NGOs and private organisations can do what they want - crowdfund a festival, fly what you like. But when it comes to government or politics, I think it's time to retire Pride in general.
