An update on one of the personal cross stitches. The fact that there are 4 different colours in this section so far, is probably one of the reasons I'm going a bit cross eyed 😂

So glad to see George Cottrell being named in parliament yesterday. He was Farage’s head of fundraising when he convicted of an offence related to money laundering & is still close to & funding Farage. Crypto is an urgent democratic threat to the UK
I am deeply suspicious of parties which court cryptocurrency donations, given the potential for money laundering, by organised criminal gangs and malign foreign governments.
Yesterday in Parliament, I rang the alarm bell at Farage's continuing closeness to wire fraud convict George Cottrell.

'I have no idea what I’m doing' is, unfortunately, extremely accurate.
So I stitched it. For emotional support.
There’s a finished hoop and a pattern now, but mainly this is about the vibe 🪡☕

It seems only fair that you alert people in advance. Give them a chance to run, you know...🤣
