The big divide in Britain today is between working people and the privately educated, rich, greedy, tax-dodging, selfish, grifting gobshites who try to manipulate working people by pretending to give a shit about them.

She was totally out of her depth when she was in Government and she is out of her depth as a pundit.

The judge said Shipley’s actions were “a blatant piece of dishonesty”. Coincidentally, that sums up Brexit in a nutshell.

Farage says, "I didn't wear them (masks) last time, and I won't wear them this time" and dismisses mask mandates as "rubbish". Here's Farage in 2020. Man's a dangerous idiot.

Their editorial priorities have been dubious at best for some time. Personally I blame Gibb and McAndrew. Get rid of those two and we can get back to responsible news reporting on the BBC.

It's bad enough that they did this on yesterday's 10'o clock news. To be still leading on the same sport story 15 hours later is just bonkers!

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

Yes, central London "rife with gangs" she said. Utter nonsense and I could see which way that interview was going from the start. I am disappointed because I used to respect her as a newsreader.

It is 1870. You've spent the night at Fenton's Hotel on St James Street. Now you can slip next door to no 66 and enjoy an electric bath. Personally I feel this sounds a little risky - but Nurse Alice (certificated) and her 8 assistants are there to cure you. Would you go in?

The liars, of course, have all moved on to new cons & deceptions. The fishing industry can't. A vaguely honest media would be holding Farage & the rest to account for this instead of promoting a meaningless petition... www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/plymout...

In the late 90s & early 2000s we in the UK received (very roughly) 80,000 asylum applications per year. Mainly people escaping Balkan wars. Today in these “unprecedented” times of “invasion” by small boat… we receive pretty much the exact same numbers. Had you been taken in? I wouldn’t blame you.

I check Twitter occasionally - if like minded people have followed me I follow back. But I joined Twitter in 2010 for history, cinema and photography stuff, so it is a bit mad what it has turned into. The hard right nut jobs are a lost cause - debating them on sm would be a waste of my time.

Agreed! I remember how enthusiastic she was when Sunak brought him back. From this piece we might have thought he was one of the great statesmen of the age. But Cameron helped to make the "unpredictable world of politics" even more unpredictable. I won't be thanking him for that.
