Astonishing statistic from Mark Carney: in 2016 the British economy was 90% the size of Germany’s but now post-Brexit it is less than 70%. ft.com/content/f1f0a6…

And the winner is…Boris Johnson 👇

Spot on. I’ve heard this complaint so often from charity staff in African nations

Boris Johnson narrowly pulling ahead of Liz Truss in my very unscientific poll 👇

The Four Seasons has been paid $70m from ⁦World Health Organization (WHO)⁩ over the past eight years. The fact that this was taken as normal exposes the UN mindset, which spends so much money on its own top staff while always pleading for more cash
