Ungainly on land
- Starmer is simultaneously detoxifying Reform and toxifying the Labour Party. I ask again, what is he playing at?

- 1. This is Piles Copse, the largest remaining fragment of high-ground temperate rainforest on Dartmoor. It’s a tiny speck of green in a dismal, human-made desert. Prepare yourselves for a story of breathtaking perversity, told in this thread. (There’s a one-page version at the bottom). 🧵
