Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated. Though the usual geek chorus of bed-wetters, seat-sniffers and no-marks have been delighted by my swift exit from the Sunday Telegraph, I can’t say I’m all that fussed. For starters, I’m not exactly losing an audience of millions, as the august journal removed itself last year from the ABC newspaper circulation audit, saying it is no longer a ‘key metric’ for its subscriber-first strategy. Good luck with that if you will sack a brilliant columnist just because a mob of misery-buckets who would never read your paper in a million years decreed that she shouldn’t be allowed to mock royalty.
The DT has deteriorated into a lefty woke paper. Still has some quality writers but doesn't let subscribers comment on most of them, and never on Me-gain and her poodle.
I'm old enough to remember a time when the Daily Telegraph was deliciously stuffy and with the Financial Times, the newspaper of choice amongst the bowler-hatted commuters on the 8.05 from Sevenoaks to Cannon Street. It also had the best foreign correspondents in its class. Nowadays, huh. Who'd bother with it? It's collapsed into a miasma of rotting woke-brownnosing like the Times and the Daily Mail - although to give the Fail some credit, they are willing at least, for click bate of course, to take on the appalling Markle PR machine.
They can beware "the curse of Julie": the DT is a rather pitiful organ enthralled to Church and Throne like some 50s humbug. A humbug scared of it's privately-educated wannabe-hip grandchildren who have discovered being right-on, music, and drugs at least 45 years after the cool kids did. So late to the party, they might as well have side-partings and aspire to the officer Cadel Corps, such is their credibility. In many things, the phrase "better out than in" comes to mind. This is one of those times. You'll do just fine, ma'am. Please keep upsetting the right people..
We have too few proper newspapers, so even getting cancelled by a grotty one like the S Tel is bad news. I do hope behind-the-scenes negotiations have begun with JB and the D Mail, GB News etc. Maybe JB's column could be written under a pen-name like Georgiana Floydina. Nobody would guess.
This: 'It’s telling that Frankie Boyle can makes jokes about handicapped children and still be rewarded handsomely by the BBC whereas I mock two outrageously privileged people and get the chop from a Conservative newspaper.'

Incels in frocks - love, love, love it!
Andrew Neil simply HAS to contact you. Also still waiting for Piers Morgan to appear there. Then normal service will be resumed.
Julie off the leash! Thanks, what a treat to get this in my inbox! Fab stuff

Surely GBNews has called you by now Julie?
Gone but not forgotten. Gawd Bless our Julie, and all who sail in her! Love Artful xx

Do, please, continue to give it to the Douche of Sussex and his Douchess, good and hard.

I just can't believe they'd treat you like this Julie. You had the best bristols in Bristol. Your tits were the toast of two counties.
Had a shit day and reading this just put a smile on my face. Go Julie!!
Go girl!

You're still the best! Best wishes from your biggest fan on Twitter, now bereft of his regular entertainment.
So glad we can still read your pensées... Very much looking forward to more.
