Thinking of those still fighting the fight and the families of those who lost their battles 🙏🏻

Just read on LinkedIn: “I have 260 millionaires and 13 billionaires in my phone”.

I hate that app.

Keir Starmer, "Once we lose the anchor that truth matters in the robust debate we must have, we're on a very slippery slope"
