Maybe 🍊 will blank 🚬 as he has done before?

I said on the Farage thread that I don’t know why a sitting MP is ok to do this - openly disagree with our government policy with a foreign power who disagrees with us and is not really our ally.

It’s not a potential policy, it’s not what could happen in the next government, which is after all a good while off, it’s happening right now this disagreement over Chagos and the Iran war.

I thought there was a name for folk who did this.

A local group took supplies to Calais recently- they keep needing supplies such as warm clothing as they’re regularly taken off them 😞 - quite life changing going and seeing it I’m told.
Agree with Zak and it’s a shame our HS forgets her past compassion and seems to revel in chasing Reform.

Axel Springer owns Europe’s biggest paper, Bild, as well as Die Welt, Politico and Business Insider.

And now Der Telegraph

There is “no evidence that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is overdiagnosed in the UK” and the condition could even be “underdiagnosed”, a team of experts has said.

Oh, won't it just! I bet, despite this, there will be a new rash of my best friend's neighbour's dog's dad knows someone who threads.

Mandelson's bail conditions lifted.

So passing on confidential government information and encouraging bankers to bully the chancellor during a global financial crisis is fine if it’s not motivated by financial gain? Odd standards some people have.

This thread should be able to remember that he's not been tried yet, etc etc.

Also, if his passport has been surrendered, he's not really a flight risk. (Unlike Assange clearly was, as it transpired).

It's faintly unnerving the obsession the UK (or is it just England) has with prisons. Clearly the public school experience ploughed deep furrows. Serious though these charges are, they aren't indicative of a violent or dangerous person.

Much as I respect the principle of innocent until proven guilty, his trial will surely be a formality if the emails already in the public domain are genuine.

🤣

Bail conditions are there to manage risk. Not part of the punishment.

there is mens as well as actus read .... 😀

May I borrow this, Evenstar? I know a very good home for it.

Of course @PandoraSocks ☺️

Someone in the comments asked if other people could see it or had they eaten a dodgy mushroom

Same with the man now known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

Thank you for your attention on this matter.

That is a brilliant piece of writing.

Did anyone watch the Last Leg? Penny Mordaunt was on and she got called out by comedian Vittorio Angelone for promoting arm sales in Saudi

To say that she did not appreciate it would be a understatement.

"It remains to be seen how new European ownership will be greeted by a largely Eurosceptic readership. “Red-faced Brexiteers all over Surrey having conniptions,” said one source close to the saga. “You would need a heart of stone not to laugh.”"

Not yet I haven’t but always catch up at the weekend.

I’ve just got back from her old constituency!
