Resigning in disgrace after a humiliatingly bad career.
Disgraced.

Boris Johnson steps down as MP with immediate effect
This is my End of Life Mum. Her name is Irene. That's me, on zoom, explaining to my mum why I am "not allowed to visit", because of the national lock down. I am so very sorry Mum.

Brits stuck in queues at passport control Malaga airport
#Brexit
makes passage through European airports painfully long as all non-EU passports have to be stamped in and out. Never let Tory tub-thumpers tell you UK passport is better than European one! *Liars*
#GetBrexitUndone
Truly awful conversation with English lady today; she openly blames *all* NHS delays on immigration! She claimed "UK is sinking under the weight of illegal immigrants"! I told this bigoted 86yo woman she was racist, xenophobic and represented ugly nationalism! Did I go too far?
Thanks to my late mum, I now have my European Citizenship back ๐๐

tore my country out of the European Union, a union that stands for FREEDOMS, peace, safety and security - the liars that bought Brexit can't take the girl out of her birth rights!

In 1974 I was with my friend helping to feed donkeys in nearby farm. Farmer grabbed me from behind, dragged me by my wrist, forced me into a dirty shed, pushed me onto his lap, grabbed my face & forced his tongue into my mouth! I was 10. My friend screamed, he let go, we ran..1/

My mum deserved dignity in death, surrounded by family. Mum died frightened & alone. 5 relatives died during lock down including mum, all deserved funerals where broken, surviving partners were comforted. They mourned alone and grieved in agony! People are furious not political..
@snb19692
On what grounds?
@metpoliceuk
you won't investigate the PM for repeatedly breaking Covid Lock Down Laws yet you are harassing a member of the public who has a legitimate right to protest *still*
#BadlyDone
Anyone touches my wrist. I was a 10 year old girl, who loved animals, a dirty, disgusting old man brutally forced himself on me, if my friend hadn't screamed I know he would not have stopped! My friend then got brutally beaten by her dad. I still have nightmares

I worked in Whitehall when Johnson was in City Hall; he left chaos in his wake; there were those who found him 'endearing'.. that's why he is in No10...he endeared himself to those with influence/power to get what he wants! I wouldn't trust BJ to run a bath nevermind a country!

Boris Johnson just told MPโs the UK has taken more refugees since 2015 then any other country in Europe

@BBCNews
how do you justify reporting deaths in US/Spain as if to shift emphasis from harrowing number of deaths in U.K. - why is your scroll bar not showing TOTAL deaths in U.K. today? Why are you separating Eng/Scot/Wales/N.I. using calculations that cannot easily be added up?
@implausibleblog
Sunak has just blown his [slick suits] cover, describing

What farmer had done, the police officers looked at eachother, they smiled, they spoke to my dad in our kitchen, dad said the police thought it may be "two girls making stuff up", my dad was angry. I heard him shout. Dad was told to calm down. Nothing was ever said about this..
Took me home, I heard dad telling mum my friend "makes stories up and her dad would see to her", my mum rejected this, my parents called the police, two officers came to our house, they told my dad "we know this farmer, he has done this before"..I had to describe in detail..4/

We hid in his farm, shaking and terrified, we saw his van, we ran past it towards the road, he came after us, we were small enough to squeeze under wire fence into field opposite farm, we ran for our lives! When we got to our estate we vowed not to tell because we would be..2/
