It's good here, isn't it?
Lovely to wake up & see informative & entertaining posts from a lot of familiar faces.
Many of the people who wind me up don't seem to be here yet (🤫) so I might not be posting much for a while 😂.
To those of you who are seeing this, thanks for making it seem like home 😁.

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.
If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

The brutal personal toll of politics. Those of us who carp and criticize from the sidelines, of which I am guilty too, should be careful not to drive all good people out of the arena, leaving only the grifters and charlatans in charge.

Can't wait for Truss, Putin & Badenoch to offer their views on this.
That would be a full house, or asylum, as it used to be known.

Today, Starmer said he’d “take back control of our borders” and claimed that soaring immigration had done “incalculable damage” to our country.
No. That damage is done by the ruinous dishonesty of our politicians and the hatred whipped up by their ugly anti-immigrant rhetoric.
Shame on you, Starmer.

Hey Sky TV.
You really don't need all these call centre workers.
Just don't double my subscription when my contract ends and make me ring you five times to get the same deal as I had before and then to make you actually honour the deal you offered me.
Absolute joke.
