Dan Wootton has been very clear with us all for a very long time that he is morally superior to Meghan Markle. Let us see how that plays out.

whilst i’m able to take responsibility for my own actions i can hand on heart say that a big part of the reason i would get myself into these states was because of the relentless bullying and constant surveillance and scrutiny this man had me under. FOR NO REASON. Anyway, karmas…

If you don’t like Owen Jones that’s up to you, and if you’re on the right my guess is you don’t. But is there a single thing he says here that’s wrong, unfair, exaggerated, misleading or inaccurate?

There is no evidence you currently have that people, who work at Coutts, the centuries old bank with just a single branch on The Stand, made a “purely political decision”. But you’ve never needed evidence. You’re got your prejudice, your agenda, and a Tweet by Nigel Farage.

The indignity of so publicly, and desperately, wanting an honour is absolutely amazing. She is a Brexiter, who hates unelected bureaucrats . And yet is screaming and shouting about not being given a seat, for life, in the upper chamber. A seat that impacts our laws.
