Next week, Nadhim Zahawi's former libel lawyer is being prosecuted by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority for misconduct. It's a public hearing, and anyone can attend, in person or via Zoom.

Today I am thinking about American journalist Marie Colvin and French photojournalist Rémi Ochlik who risked their lives to tell the truth about the Assad regime.
They were assassinated in Syria just for shining a light on peoples suffering during the civil war.

So it turns out they spent £715 million on sending a grand total of FOUR volunteers to Rwanda.
For comparison, this is more than you could expect to spend on building an entire brand new hospital in the UK

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.
But he still needed a 45% pay rise.

BREAKING: It has been revealed that instead of paying for the King's coronation, we could have paid the wages of 2,057 nurses last year. I don't know about you, but I think it was worth sending nurses to foodbanks so the rich man could play fancy dress for the day x
