Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’. What, Michelle? 🧵 13430201225

Reposted by Wayne Dearden Tom Reagan’s Hat @rufustsuperfly.bsky.social · 27/08/2025It took an Irish journalist, Claire Byrne, to hand Farage’s arse to him on a plate. Depressing not to see more of this in British broadcasting. Anyway, enjoy how the big mouth has nothing to say for once after she plays him some very embarrassing footage… 10772225
Wayne Dearden @megawayned.bsky.social · 27/08/2025ITV Oracle November 1988 and a couple of things from Rumbelows.
