So here’s a tale… I noticed Charlotte Owen, the junior aide Boris Johnson controversially ennobled, has a new gig with - shock! - Boris Johnson. But that’s only the start. There’s also uranium, Iran, Steve Bannon..& a LOT of qs My piece for The Observer theguardian.com/politics/artic…

“In the first three months of 2024, Charlotte claimed an average in attendance fees of £5,309 a month…” She was gifted this job for life, at age 29. Answerable to no-one, no real duties, unsackable. She just needs to turn up to get our taxpayer money. prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/67789…

Labour has barely been in power for 7 weeks but LK rages at the new PM for not having sorted out something the previous Govt failed to do for 7 years. Something she never did to previous the 4 Tory PMs during those years? Does she really not see how bad this looks - for her?

Apparently all the millionaires are leaving but wealth managers are recruiting like fury to service the UK market. Unless they’ve really misunderstood the market (and I doubt they have) all those stories about the wealthy leaving are total nonsense. theguardian.com/business/artic…

Laura Kuenssberg’s time as BBC Political Editor has been a catastrophic, systemic failure. bylinetimes.com/2022/03/30/lau…

A simple truth, either wilfully ignored or still not grasped by swathes of Tory journalists & politicians.

Moeen Ali did everything England asked of him. From captaining England U19 World Cup team to opening the batting, leading spinner and finishing matches. He was a key player during England's golden period in limited overs cricket. Few days back he retired and his outstanding

In a very real sense, ‘Starmergeddon,’ the cuts now being announced and the vast tax rises to come in the Budget are the inevitable consequence of the Mail’s championing of Brexit, Johnson and Truss. How else did the paper’s great strategists think it was going to end?

Chance of a lifetime lost for a young English coach, but he’s got a blue passport so I’m sure he’ll get over it 👍 #BrexitShambles

What the article (accurately) says: "The average migrant worker pays more in tax than they received in public services compared to the average British-born worker". What the headline says: telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/…

"The streaming revenue from this song will be going to the Clark County SPCA and will help stray animals in Springfield Ohio find a loving home." Might as well channel all this craziness into a good cause.

Boris Johnson For the guy who screwed up our relations with the EU science programme & higher ed to vast cost in ££ and talent to talk of others causing “brain drain”… …is exactly the kind of infuriatingly hypocritical, vapid, obdurate lobotomised hamster guff I would expect from him.

Get in! Onana rolling around in embarrassment on the floor was beautiful

People are in prison today for trying to warn the public how bad things are going to get. Scientists have taken to the streets to warn us. The idiotic media have failed to make it clear what’s coming - and this is still the beginning. Educate everyone you know:

Storm Boris is described as "a catastrophe of epic proportions". Figures.

I don’t post much anymore but feel the need to on this subject. Please don’t be fooled by the scaremongering regarding the independent regulator and England losing tournaments. They will do anything to stop it coming in and are happy to create misinformation and apply soft power
