Welcome to the Streisand Effect.
odd though - I'm surprised he wants to draw attention to it starting in 2018
have you noticed how Nigel Farage skips straight from Nathan Gill being in UKIP to Nathan Gill being in Reform UK?
not a word about Nathan Gill joining the Brexit Party and being a Brexit Party MEP and GE2019 candidate

Suddenly decided to show some of my grandmother's works, the artist — Irina Evstafieva. 1970s
There was a permanent art exhibition on the walls of our rooms in my childhood — both grandmother's and great grandmother's paintings.
Surrounded with them I grew up.
Enjoy you Friday 😊

Two things are keeping this increasingly embarrassing Tory leader in place:
- the party wants her to take the blame for May's local election results
- a significant number of MPs can't stand Robert Jenrick
