Good luck with it all Emma. Especially with the debunking course - an excellent and most needed resource.

What a great journey Emma, you've put out so many good pieces that you'll surely reach 'national treasure' status within year two! 😆

Hi Emma. Naturally, I wish you continued success; whether you realise it or not, you provide a very valuable public service. it occurred to me when reading your last debunk that given that tactical voting is again going to be crucial at the next general election, you might consider extending the workshop and offer the progressive candidate's local party a "How to expose the right wing at the Hustings" tutorial covering say the top 3 or 4 hot issues of the campaign.

If your advice was properly executed, at Hustings meetings, good number of people considering voting for a right of centre candidate would hear the unvarnished reality about the parties for whom they are considering voting. With the breakdown of two party party politics, around 30% of seats have become marginals and I'm sue that some of the local progessive party associations would pay you a fee and expenses for such a service.

I have also really enjoyed your collaboration with the Bear, I hope you both find time for that to continue and you might contemplate other one-off collaborations.

Anyway, whatever you do, I wish you the best of luck. Andy

Thank you Andy. Your ongoing support of my work, both here and over on Twitter and Bluesky is greatly appreciated.

I really like that idea about providing some sort of resource for debunking Right Wing talking points in the next election for progressive candidates. Definetly worth looking into!

Incredible work. Have to admit a fondness for the DM. As comics go, it rarely fails to deliver comedy gold. Especially the comment section.

Always feel like I need a shower after delving through the comments section!

Ha ha. I know what you mean.

One of my favourites was "That is obvious to those of us with an IQ in double digits."

I heard you on the JoB show that's how I found you. Thank you for the work you do, it's much needed in this modern disinformation era.
