That is tremendous - mad to think that was ever not the case.

Agree I’d like too see them all in the dock, Boris & Dido Harding included utterly shameful the amount of money that was handed out somehow though seems to have been a serious case of selective amnesia amongst media & general public.
also agree all politicians of all political parties should be held to the highest of ethical standards.

Always seems to be the woman selected first to punish though.
They all should be investigated.

I'm hoping this is just the start of it.

Mone has basically said 'Release the dogs'

Woof!

.

She has now said she has no wish to rejoin the Lords as a Conservative peer

Non affiliated peer then?

It would “appeer” that even Farage doesn’t want her.

Is Fartage doing a Trump then as in I've never met her?

Hope everyone is ok with storm Amy 🌬

It's fine where we are.

Same here - bright and sunny but on the windy side

Very wet overnight

I had to walk DS1 to the GP in it, yesterday. 5 minute walk and we were sodden! All getting a blow dry today.

We are well in south Cheshire as is my sister who lives in Northern Ireland - managed to not be those who lost electricity supply. She said the wind was howling and the rain lashed it down. A bit calmer today.

We have strong winds and sunshine, I was overdressed in my coat earlier

Sunny and very windy here. The cats are having berserk zoomies, but they always do when it's like this. Going out shortly for DD to get flu jabbed (DS coincidentally has just had his done in Plymouth) and then get the food shop in. Planning a quiet and domesticated weekend.

Blowing a gale and chucking it down here in north Wales but we've had worse.

The BBC has pulled the latest HIGNFY episode from iPlayer becaused it presented the false claim that Blair's son would be involved with the digital ID as a fact 😬

Oh dear. Maybe they have been reading the claims on MN 🤭

Yes, I saw the programme last night and did wonder about that claim. But I went to bed after and forgot to google it.

ETA is anyone else finding MN to be a bit glitchy?

Thanks for the heads up. I've got my copy ready to watch this evening.

Laugh ? I nearly paid my licence fee.

Hope everyone is ok very wet overnight sunny & very windy here in SE London.
placemats definitely a bit glitchy keeps freezing & reloading.

Yes exactly the same thing is happening to me Dontcallmelen.

I keep having to switch to Duck Duck go as endless freezing on Chrome.

Oops. Shame because Archie from Balamory, whose actual name temporarily escapes me, was on top form.
