He won’t survive 3 more years. Labour can now control the narrative with daily press briefings.
One message a day about Russians interfering in our politics, or Farage’s house purchase, or dodgy funding of ReFUK.

Weird how it's the regional press that is covering this news story more broadly than the nationals.

You're very clever!! I did perfect poached eggs this morning for everyone in the apartment here in Spain. Was very proud of myself. They've gone and bought more eggs for same thing tomorrow. Didn't think that through did I 🤔

Apart from one 'conventional' loaf I have baked, my sourdough efforts are confined to knock-off Schneider Brot rye Vollkornbrot like ⬇️ containing whole and cracked rye grain, with rye sourdough, for flavour rather than a raising agent.

A man overpaid by The Telegraph by a Russian, who elevated a Russian to the HoL, put a woman in the HoL no one knows if she’s a daughter or ex. Was given £1m to arrange a £80m contract I hear. Decided Brexit was a great idea when he was told by Putin probably and gave a contract to his mistress.
