I ONLY WONDER WHY IT TOOK SO LONG

This information comes to you from the Trump House, 1600 Trump Avenue, Trumpsville, Trumpland, North Trump.

Soon the Trump House will be adding a Trump Ballroom and Trumpsville will have a Triumphal Trump Arch.

We advise people wishing to see these amazing additions to every proud Trumper’s capital city, to book tours quite quickly, from Trump Travel at very reasonable cost of $5000 per day, with, for a small additional charge of $2000, a Trump phone and Trump bible thrown in.

The likelihood is that, once His Presidential Highness Trump is no longer our great, hallowed and beloved leader, and the whole world has finished its 5 years of mourning, these will revert to their former names, and the ballroom/bordello and arch will be razed to the ground, in respectful memory of our grate leader. (No spelling error.)

***********

A side thought:

Trump makes a big thing about Christmas, being called Christmas.

Why then, does Trump’s own grifting site speak about “Holiday Gifts”? Why not “Christmas gifts”?

************

I’ve just seen this:

This is in the Presidential hall of fame in the White House.

He clearly wrote it himself. He desecrates everything he goes near.

TIRED AND TOXIC

Tricky Dicky was a long-time member of the Conservative Party but resigned in 2019, frustrated by the ‘failure to deliver on the Brexit vote’ (oddly, because they did deliver on it), and then became the leader of the Brexit Party, which rebranded to Reform UK Ltd.

 Nigel Farage replaced Richard Tice as leader of Reform UK on June 3, 2024.  When asked about the transition (or take over), Farage indicated that it was best for him to take over because he had “been doing this (grifting, I assume) longer than Richard”.

More than 20 former Tories have defected to Reform.

Lee Anderson: The MP for Ashfield was the first sitting Tory MP to defect to Reform UK in March 2024. Famous for the claims that you need not spend more than 30p to get a good meal.

Danny Kruger: The sitting MP for East Wiltshire (previously Devizes) defected in September 2025 and has been made head of Reform’s unit preparing for government.

Nadine Dorries: The former “Culture, Media and Sport” (three things about which she knew absolutely nothing) Secretary and Boris Johnson fangirl announced her defection in September 2025.

Maria Caulfield: A former health minister, she defected in September 2025, saying the Conservative Party had “lost touch” with her values. Values, you say, Caulfield???

Jonathan Gullis (otherwise known as Thicky Dum Dumb), Lia Nici, and Chris Green: These three former MPs announced their defections on the same day in December 2025. Gullis was a former deputy chairman of the Conservative Party.

Jake Berry: The former Conservative Party chairman defected in July 2025.

Andrea Finger Jenkyns: The former MP for Morley and Outwood with all the class of a Trump supporter, defected in late 2024 and was elected as Reform UK’s first regional mayor for Greater Lincolnshire in May 2025, a job that she is hardly excelling at.

David Jones: A former Cabinet minister who had been a Conservative party member for over 50 years, he also defected. 

So there you go. Tired and toxic is probably pretty accurate. You could add in dim and thick. But defectors, your deputy managing director doesn’t have a high opinion of you.

THIS IS REFORM WITH TRUMPIAN LEVELS OF EFFICIENCY

Worcestershire

Pre-election promises vs post-election delivery in Reform UK-led Worcestershire… 👀

🧊 Freeze or cut council tax

💬 “Families are under pressure, councils must live within their means”

✂️ Talk about efficiency, waste cutting and DOGE riding in to save the day

Reform delivery…

📈 Council tax set to rise by more than 5%

💷 A £43.6m funding gap

🚨 Asking the government for exceptional financial support

🗂️ Residents consulted on rises of up to 10%

🧾 £33.6m needed just to break even in 2025

From Facebook. Anti-Reform

But you could buy yourself access to the company’s directors… if you’ve got £10,000 a year to waste, I mean spend

And then there’s Lancashire

If you’re thinking about voting for Reform in your area, we strongly suggest you read this excellent article by Helen Pidd in the Guardian.

Because when the rhetoric meets reality, this is what seven months of Reform actually looks like at Lancashire County Council 👇

🚫 Big on promises, low on delivery

They won power on slogans, not plans. They promised frozen council tax, fixed potholes and weekly bins. Then the excuses start.

🎭 Culture wars over competence

Banning Pride flags, scrubbing “climate change”, playing the national anthem at meetings while real problems pile up.

📢 “Free speech” is only applicable when they like it

Happy to provoke, furious when criticised. Thin skins, tantrums and attacks on opponents.

⚠️ Extremism and abuse in their ranks

Racist posts, extremist WhatsApp groups and viral misinformation aimed at councillors who challenge them.

🏚️ Elderly people pay the price

Plans to shut council run care homes, pushing residents into the private sector to “save money” and tearing lives apart.

😡 Even their own voters are angry

Reform members speaking out as promises collapse and the human cost becomes clear.

Behind the rhetoric, this is the reality.

Incompetence. Divisiveness. Cruelty dressed up as common sense.

They’re not anti establishment.

They’re not on your side.

And they’re definitely not your friends.

And now there’s Scotland

‪Laura Webster‬ ‪@lauraewebster.bsky.social‬

🚨David McLennan is Reform UK’s first elected councillor in Scotland. He won a by-election in Whitburn last week. He claims to be a retired police officer, but David actually left the force after being charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice.

SOPPY SUNDAY

We accept all currencies and all credit cards at the Towers’ entrance.

2. This is Constance.

3. Who’s getting a kiss?

4. I don’t want to crow, but I’m probably the smartest animal around here. At the other end of the scale, there is Tris.

5. I want carried.

6. Oi, you, human, you got any nosh? Asking for a friend …who is me.

7. So, Sidney, where do you fancy going for a walk today… and is Bongo coming?

8. It’s extra to get into this part of the grounds. A tin of sweetcorn will cover it. (Just call me Trump the Hen.)

9. So, no, Clarence. You’re not the most intelligent animal here.

(Note: AI says: Both crows and pigs are exceptionally intelligent, often ranking high on lists of smart animals, but they excel in different ways: pigs show advanced problem-solving and social-emotional depth, comparable to a toddler, while crows demonstrate superior tool-making, rule-based learning, and abstract reasoning. While pigs might solve problems independently without human help, crows excel at complex planning and using tools, making it difficult to declare one definitively “smarter,” as their cognition suits their environments.)

10. Sakura Tree, Japan.

11. Can I help you? I’m the head sheep.

12. Timbuktu. Munguin was thinking that might be a suitable place to spend the winter.

13. No jokes about getting the hump, please.

14. I remind Tris of his family dog when he was a kid. He was called Mac, and very much loved.

15. Wash your face before meeting Munguin, little one.
