you're right, it IS shocking that professional loser Matt Goodwin still has more newsletter subscribers than I do. If you want to help correct this oversight, here's 12% off annual subs (to reflect how much he lost by) https://jonn.substack.com/subscribe?coupon=b5f4ed4e

"Reform trades openly in resentment, nastiness and rage. Its poll lead is a genuinely alarming development. By contrast, the Greens, broadly speaking, are a party of people who would like things to be kinder, and who quite like trees."

Even more excitingly - pre-order from Waterstones this week, and you can get 25% off. Just use code "FEB26". We're probably going to change the cover, if I'm honest. Anyway, writing a new book always means swinging wildly between excitement and terror, and I am currently in the excitement phase of the sine wave, so if you enjoyed 47 Borders I hope you please go order forthwith. https://www.waterstones.com/book/35%20Inventions%20that%20Changed%20Your%20World/jonn-elledge/9781035432769
