Prompted by @morganj0nes.bsky.social I have carried out a quick review of Your Party's membership portal.

Lets start with this option on the application form. Totally crazy to ask ppl to have to confirm their own payment interval (monthly or yearly) but also claiming you will collect back payments!

Two ways to read this. One is “she lost on every substantive claim, completely failed in her attempts to ban trans staff from the workplace, and won mild procedural victories against her employers handling of her case”.
The other way is, I guess, “point one is longer so it must be more important”

On a purely factual point, Trevor Phillips’s column in the Times misrepresents our reporting in casting doubts on claims that there were more boys called Patel than Smith at Dulwich in 1980 (we did not report 1976 as the year it occurred). 1980 roll shows 13 Patels and 12 Smiths.

Claire Fox, chairing a 'debate' on populism at the Battle of Ideas, apologises: "This wasn't intended as a Reform rally."

I need the most “Labour’s strategy and its obvious consequences” poll finding you have, and make it snappy!

The economic consequences of alpacas Where were you when you learned that Geronimo the alpaca had been killed? I, like a character in a particularly heavy-handed state of the nation novel, was in a waiting room at King’s College Hospital...
