Whenever I see Americans campaigning in elections that I discover are in NOVEMBER I am mostly impressed by just how extremely organised they are. Like can you imagine UK politicians having their act together like this?

"The staff letter, seen by the BBC" – you mean seen by @novaramedia, and broken by me last week @tombateman? We published both letters in full last week: https://t.co/6FUp76YDKk Please stop taking credit for the work of independent media outlets. https://t.co/bXbYmiGAe6
