You beat me to it.

Funny how he waited till he got back from meeting Trump, isn't it? What a brave truth teller he is.

But I think (limited) credit is due. Perhaps this is a prelude to the Mail and co rowing back a bit- they were still talking about Starmer being "humiliated" by Trump when I last checked. I'm sure Kemi is bedded in for the duration though.

Too late, handbrake turning in an international crisis won't restore your credibility.
I believe Jenrick was operating his own more nuanced foreign policy last week. While Tice was ranting about bombing the ragheads on the same day (come at my bird and you'll have me to deal with).

He doesn't have any credibility to lose on international crises. His entire appeal is fewer foreigners over here and sticking it to clever people. I'm optimistic that his association with Trump will be much more of a liability by 2029, but perhaps he'll distance himself sufficiently by then. His u-turn suggests to me that he does have more ambition towards winning elections than I thought he had. This might hurt his ability to hoover up Trumper money.

I wonder if the garage has a hand car wash. It would be delicious if there were industrious Eastern Europeans just out of shot.

The garage stunt in Derbyshire didn't really play out well with the locals because the Reform leader of Derbyshire county council rocked up to the event in a very expensive Bentley, so much for Reform trying to portray themselves as the party for working people.

Avoidance isn’t evasion or illegal. But does become a reputational issue if its a slippery wheeze not in the spirit of the law. Like Rupert Lowe cosplaying as a farmer and fuelling asset inflation to avoid paying a fat bundle to the HMRC.

True, but then I haven't forgotten that Rayner was forced out over her tax arrangements. Here's what Dubai Dick had to say at the time.

The UK's youngest council leader is facing a vote of no confidence after being accused of bringing the authority "into disrepute".

Reform UK's George Finch, who leads Warwickshire County Council, was appointed last summer at the age of 19.

Green Party councillors called for a vote on Finch's position at the next full council meeting on 17 March, suggesting he has "abused the office of leader".
Politics Midlands had more on this.
