It depends on the media - its not her fault the letting agent didn’t do what they said they would. Perhaps it was her husband’s oversight?

The idea of leaving the ECHR isn’t patriotic anymore than Brexit or flag-shagging is patriotic.

It’s the bolt-hole of a quisling, noxious to both the economy and to social cohesion.

It’s more snake-oil, more kittens and rainbows, more blank canvas on which to stitch dreams best left unspoken.
🚨🚨 "The ECHR is not some foreign imposition that curtails our sovereignty. It was born of British leadership after the horrors of the Second World War, drafted with heavy British influence, and championed by Winston Churchill himself". Great stuff by Sir Robert Buckland KC:

💯 this 👇
Zack Polanski’s response to the Manchester terror attack has been a masterclass in mature statesmanship.

Soulful, human, eloquent, empathetic, nuanced, confident and focused on healing.

And bold. It has shone in contrast to so much weaponising or ill thought through commentary.

Thank you Zack. 💪
