"It's not all doom and gloom"

Welsh nans are the best. Terrifying, but the best. Especially the Valleys variant.

Someone on my estate had a cat come back to her after a year.

And could you imagine the furore if it had emerged that Starmer had been gifted even £500 to improve security following actual arson attacks on his family's property.

@BIossomtoes do you suspect that your ginger queen was stolen? Also years ago our beautiful silver tabby with piercingly blue eyes disappeared and I've always thought that someone stole her

Do you know that never occurred to me. I guess it’s a real possibility, she was very beautiful - and she knew it. I hope so because she probably got a better class of slave!

That's a nice way to think about it!

It is interesting that Farage concluded he couldn’t give an interview with LK without something about the £5 million looking very bad indeed. He loves a soundbite to splash on social media but he didn’t think he could manipulate the narrative sufficiently.

Yusif Zia’s attempts to defend it on QT were absolutely pathetic. Nobody bought it.

I didn’t see QT. It does look odd. He’s clearly obfuscated regarding the arson investigation.

I don't think it was LK he was frit of.

He is so beautiful. So sorry his ‘bro’ is missing and I hope he returns - Gard though to keep hoping v let’s accept this but you still hope.

Yeah with everything else life can be rather carp can’t it. Do nice things for you x

Are you somehow suggesting that's it's his personal donor, money paid for reasons of security, that he's afraid of?

So that’s Jonathan Pie on the Farage cash - wasn’t sure I could get it to work.

Have seen it. Worth a watch.

If you can't be bovvered to turn up at a Laura K interview, then what is bothering you?

Ed Davey wasn't there but had a representative on the panel. Heidi Alexander was there representing the Cabinet. As was a representative for Plaid Cymru.

Reform running scared?

Wonder if any of that £5 million was funnelled to a house purchase in Clacton.

The house that his partner bought outright so he he could avoid second home tax?

It will leave them with quite a bit of change

This is Reform Uk

"When Aria was set up, it was controversially exempt from freedom of information laws to be free from "red tape" and for the first years of its operation, it published no details about its grantees.'

(2021 that was granted)

Bloody hell MN is crazy atm. We now have people pushing actual neo-Nazi propaganda under the guise of "is my son a Nazi". MNHQ has hidden the thread, thankfully.

Eta: nope. Now unhidden 🤯

I reported it

It's unhidden now

Ah well. Best say no more or some lurker will report us for TAAT.
