Political Theatrics @johndalston.bsky.social · 06/10/2026For the avoidance of doubt, Jeffrey Archer was a man who used his power and privilege to exploit a younger woman who had spent her life being exploited.

Political Theatrics @johndalston.bsky.social · 30/07/2026In terms of physical achievement for Georgia Hall, to be playing golf so competitively so soon after giving birth is perhaps impressive.
