Mone claimed she was a victim of the establishment when she lost the case.
A bit of a joke coming from someone who sits in the upper house of parliament and used her Tory party connections to get on the ‘VIP’ fast track for lucrative Covid contracts.
Looks like Michelle Mone is going to have to sell that yacht

At what point does a country tip into fascism?
The US is seeing masked men snatch people off the street, judges attacked, civil rights eroded, opposition politicians murdered, troops put on US streets, and a Pyongyang-style military parade.
What next?

Solidarity with former colleagues fighting these short-sighted and harmful proposals. It benefits no-one to have the PA news agency diminished, & the proposals will lead to a drop in quality (and potentially revenue, as customers look to reduce subscriptions for a lesser service)
NUJ PA chapel issues statement over proposed job cuts. “We fear these cuts will affect the quality and quantity of the service to PA customers and ultimately damage PA’s brand and reputation for fast, fair and accurate content.”

I’m not really surprised by anything the admin has done, but I expected the vibes to be closer to “private equity stripping a company down for parts” rather than “meth head stripping the walls for scrap metal”

As this letter says, the US is betraying Ukraine by reneging on the treaty it signed in Budapest in 1994. Trump is truly Putin's stooge.

Well said, #AndersVistisen! There are far too many politicians and oligarchs forgetting their previous loathing for #Donthecon and queueing up to kiss his ring.
If #Trump wants #Greenland, I claim Mar-a-Lago on behalf of the Jaegas and Seminoles.
