Today we remember the thousands of Americans who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor 84 years ago. Nearly half of those lost were aboard the USS Arizona, and I remember what a moving experience it was when Gabby and I visited the memorial. We’ll never forget their sacrifice.

When Rishi Sunak made the Vaccine deal with Moderna as Chancellor, he had up to £530m invested in Moderna.

Now Michelle Mone is desperately bringing it up.

Like if you want Mone on trial.
RT if you want them both facing the music.

Wes on Sarah Pochin: "She's only sorry because she's ccaught and called out"

Very (very!) strong words from the Health Secretary calling out racists and Reform for their disgusting words and actions.

"Reform are not fit to govern" he says.

And I totally agree!

Jewish community leaders in Birmingham

Saying they support the ban of Maccabi

Saying it's nothing to do with religion, or against Jews
