So good to see the crowds out with their brilliant, personal and funny placards at the #NoKings protests taking place everywhere today.

Didn’t manage to make it to London to protest against the encroaching far right in the UK, but did meet up with one of my oldest friends in Norwich’s biggest cafe.

We spent 2 hours loudly and joyfully looking at the current polls for May local elections- #Reform appear to have peaked, #Green support growing. We also critiqued Matt BadLoser’s dire new book.

Juggling With Eggs

Matt BadLoser from #Reform lost to #Greens Hannah Spencer in recent Gorton and Denton by-election. He’s still bitter.

He didn’t do much on the ground campaigning during the election. We now know that was because he was busy writing this self published pile of $hit that will appeal to no one.

It has a mere 12 footnotes, two of which are ChatGPT generated, others reference his own blog. So it’s got zero intellectual heft.
