Heather Brooke: WIN. Politicians: FAIL. A press release informs your humble Devil that the Reform think-tank wants you to vote for the Reformer of the Year . Alas, my name does not appear there which is a bit of a surprise since, like myself, most of those on the shortlist have actually reformed less than fuck all. There are a couple of worthy contenders— Douglas Carswell...

Earlier today I gave Liz Truss ConHome's full support . I fully expected tonight's meeting of SW Norfolk Conservatives to endorse Liz Truss but they've delayed doing so and have voted to "review their candidate" at a special meeting in three weeks' time. Crazy. SW Norfolk made an inspired decision on Saturday to select Liz . She is an innovative thinker and long-time Conservative. Her work at the Reform...

This report does go a little way to informing (almost for the first time) that in Britain the EU is hugely unpopular! They almost sound surprised. It’s a pity they have relied so heavily on quotes from the “Centre for European Reform” a think-tank of largely europhile leanings, believing in European integration - federalist!
