More delusion in the morning Brexpat Facebook groups. Today's edition - Spain...
Got sent a couple of recent screenshots from "expat" groups in Spain. Pretty amazing stuff.
Suffice to say, not only have the lessons from Brexit not been learned, nor Europe's position taken into account, but Europe's latest initiative is being twisted for the exceptionalist agenda

Nigel Farage yet again spouting his own prejudice above actual fact, and making your family and your work pay for it….
Multiple studies show being able to work from home boosts productivity, health and family outcomes. Don’t let him ruin your life or country by claiming otherwise.

Absolutely naked opportunism from Sarwar. Fingers crossed that it makes people think twice about voting for Scottish Labour.

I have today been informed that, despite personal assurances to the contrary, the Green party have once again used my image and misrepresented my words on a second leaflet circulated in Gorton and Denton ahead of the by-election. I have now lodged an official complaint with the returning officer.

I've just caught some clips of the Superb Owl and have some observations.
1) No owl
2) Mr Bunny wasn't bad
3) They seemed to be playing substandard rugby
All very confusing.

Ok, so now we've seen the light on this, I'm afraid I have to bring something else up...
When Starmer made Rayner quit, he said those in government had to be held to a higher standard. You can't hold others to a higher standard, know what Mandelson had done and not hold yourself to the standard.

As soon as the adviser becomes even vaguely mentioned in the story, they've fucked it and need removing.
The very fact that this needs saying is absolutely fucking unbelievable but...

No, it's not like Profumo.
There is no doubt about what Mandelson did and there will be no point where you find out that, post-politics, Mandelson very quietly dedicated his life to helping the homeless and others in need.
Don't sully John Profumo's memory.
