From The Kitchen Table, Via GB News, To The Nation
Bohiney Magazine and The London Prat file this dispatch from the British political menagerie.
The Centre-Right Populist believes the country is great, the elite is mostly ridiculous, and the cure is a slightly louder Tory with a strong jawline and a podcast. Editor Alan Nafzger of the Editor’s Desk at prat.uk presents the field guide, with help from GB News and The Times.

Editor’s Note
If any of this rings a bell, you have either been to a Tory association AGM, a Reform UK rally above a leisure centre, or both. More dispatches at govna.uk and the parent site prat.uk. For a second opinion that is also wrong, see The Daily Mash.
