When a Tory leadership candidate says they’re “going to rebuild the economy,” or “cut taxes, “cut crime,” “build more houses,” “create jobs” & “tell the truth” Ask them where the F*** they were when they trashed the economy, raised taxes, increased crime & poverty & told lies

Following my brothers death from COVID19 I learnt 1. we are substantially under-reporting deaths by not including home & care 2. Praying for your loved one wearing masks & gloves is what nightmares feel like 3. You don’t “fight” it-it’s not a measure of character 4. Stay At Home

Boris Johnson’s mates calling for inquiry into whether he misled Parliament to be abandoned cos he’s “paid the ultimate price.” Of course,my family & yours paid the ‘ultimate price’ I assure you, we will continue to investigate ‘misconduct in public office’ even if others don’t

Liz Truss: “the jury’s out” on whether Macron (& France) is a friend or foe Emmanuel Macron: “The United Kingdom is a friendly nation, regardless of its leaders, sometimes in spite of its leaders”. One of these understands you don’t offend a nation who is a long standing ally
