Dropping this as a reminder of the real world
Unkindness is inspired by hatred, anger fuels it into action in which there is no great joy; it would take sadism to turn it into something pleasurable; unkind people imagine themselves to be inflicting pain on someone equally unkind." - Marcel Proust

That £900k house in Frinton. Has anyone mentioned how it was paid for yet? Any laws broken, or all above board?

Anyone investigating? Media grown a conscience? Any journalist working for the British people? Anyone?

Half way through another week of silence then.

We’re campaigning to change that – and replace worship with assemblies that all children can participate in.

His message to you Welsh Tories is that it is OK for you to vote against your conscience but he wouldn’t do it but please do it to stop any party he thinks regards him as the slimy, rich nonentity he has become. What an arrogant arse.

IMHO he is being used by powerfully placed people who have complete control over their counties and who are democratically unaccountable with more money than him. He is far too self absorbed to recognise this. He is and always will be a real estate salesman.

Jill Houlbrook @jilly3.bsky.social · 1d

He is not a great leader, he is like others given that epithet, a sycophantic, narcissistic, egotistical, needy bully and pathological liar.
