Hope you have a lovely holiday, @cardibach.

I can recommend you going away more often. Enjoy!

Have a lovely time @cardibach . I would stay away from mn, it is a bit ugly right now.

We are going to have a staycation in the back garden and pretend we are somewhere a bit more exciting 😄

Have a lovely time Cardi anywhere in Greece will be fabulous.
its been a beautiful day here in London hot but with a lovely cooling breeze I’ve potted up my windowsill/front door pots got three loads of washing out & dried Dh is cooking tea on the bbq hope everyone has good weather for the weekend & bank holiday today has lifted my spirits 💐

Just catching up with the thread. The last couple of weeks have been a bit crazy out there - and on here! Best to leave them to it and enjoy the sunshine whilst we have it.
Very jealous of your Greek trip Cardi - for the food rather than the weather!

Have a great trip @cardibach Thanks for organising summer weather for us too!

Enjoy your trip @cardibach. We get home on Sunday, so thanks for leaving the hot weather.

Have fun. Love Greece: the smell of pine in the heat; the delicious food and the heady wine. Glorious.

I’ll be around until Thursday. Thanks for the good wishes. You’re welcome on the weather front.

Dropped in for wee and a cup of tea said Lee (Anderson). With security guards and media - Faily Dail and Cjeebies.

You can buy a lot of heavies with £5million.

Oh they are disgusting

They have no shame at all.

Hhhhmmm just happened to come across Burnham on his own completely randomly.
Anyone really believe that?

Fascinating that Farage’s entourage includes the Daily Mail - like his pet newspaper.

Bet they haven’t asked about that £5 million - grifting for billionaires, just like Farage.

Worth remembering that everything Farage will be doing at the moment will be to distract from the £5 million payment.

So if he can manufacture a story, he will.

(Seem to remember Lee Anderson talked about being offered money to move parties too. Wonder who was stumping the money up for that.)

They have no decency.

And that reply 'you liked it really' vibes.

When Burnham confronted Calgie on SM, the 'journalist' went off line

Farage must be looking at the queues at Dover with delight

At least France is being sensible and has suspended the extra EU border checks.

Another day, another Reform vetting failure.

Reform St Helens councillor assaulted woman while working pub doors - BBC News share.google/coc0Tq89UbceDS1Un

Maybe it’s a deliberate tactic, make it so commonplace that nobody even notices any more.

At least they know what a woman is so they can assault them.

Morning all

We are now at the stage of the 'Russia hacked my phone' excuse for the £5m

So the point isn't "why did Farage receive £5 million from Thai based crapto businessman?"

The point is we shouldn't know that Farage is bought and paid for?

He's really struggling to explain the why, isn't he.

"The source alleged the hacking "bore all the sophisticated hallmarks of a nation state actor using destabilisation techniques in the run-up to this month’s local elections", the Mail reported on Saturday."

🤣

He is obviously really rattled.
