Came across this on Insta, thought how something imperfect can be so perfect. It’s sad, beautiful and innocent. Brought tears to my eyes. She’s going to go far.

So, a joke MP with 5 houses bought for cash, links to criminality and a £5Mill ‘gift’ in his bank… is so enraged at being held to account… that he resigns from the MP role he never did anyway…and demands a “people v the establishment” by-election to vote him back in. What an insufferable wanker.

Nothing says “it’s me against the establishment” more than these photos. How politically illiterate do you have to be to twice vote for a corrupt politician. #Clacton.. “hold my beer”.

Make no mistake, these two are cut from the same cloth, peddling the same lies, division to profit for themselves and their paymasters. They are not “men of the people”.

Proud to have been one of the half a million that took part in the march yesterday against the rise of the far right, Tommy Robinson, Farage and their apologists and enablers. Racism, division and hate will never win.
