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.

Mindful of flag-shagger reports that "Christmas is banned", I have assembled a fake tree, covered it in wedding flowers, stuck a gold palm leaf on the top, upon which my tinsel Halloween cat is perched.
It's suitably bonkers and I'm happy.

Signed! I am so fucking sick of fireworks. Antisocial, polluting, and my dogs won't set foot out in the dark now
I'd be in favour* of bringing back the pilory for people who set off fireworks. Writing to GB News about it.
In a way, they're actually terrorists, actually.
*I'm obviously not in favour of putting people in the pilory for anything. Actually.

I think this constant push for immigrants to feel & act ‘grateful’ is so insidious. Let’s change the narrative. Migration is a normal part of human behaviour, not a charity case. If you’re doing your best to do your best, you don’t need to do even more to be accepted. It’s your right to be accepted.

Ended a friendship, found a pigeon under the sideboard in my kitchen.

Every night, for about 5 weeks now, the sound of fireworks has dominated.
I'm 58. I remember being so incredibly excited for bonfire night because it was ONE night.
The current display of over-consumption takes a lot away from children.

Robinson, Musk and Badenoch are all part of an industry of grievance, a machine designed to spread hate which now operates across the British right – from respectable print outlets to wild-eyed online fascists

The message the hate engine transmits is simple: asylum seekers are not really people in need

Steps to removing Nigel Farage as an MP:
1. Investigation & report by the Committee on Standards.
2. House of Commons orders his suspension for 14 days.
3. 10% of registered voters in Clacton sign a petition recalling their MP.
Bye bye Farage!

Today, I have been told:
The correct way to stack a woodstack.
The correct way to use the vacuum cleaner.
The correct way to use MY pressure cooker.
That the meat I cooked looks "just about right".
I might return to work full time. These non- working days are quite trying.
