Jenrick, the revolting embodiment of naked ambition, is likely to be quite good at getting disaffected Tories back to the Conservative party

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

He went missing on 1st Jan.
I'd given up hope, but yesterday evening he popped through the cat flap, demanding food and cuddles! SO good to have him back!

Jenrick doesn't improve on further acquaintance, I find.

If the only way you think you can communicate with your voters is to use X, you’re an incompetent politician.
Minister of State Alex Norris tells the BBC he won't personally come off X because it's important for communicating with voters.

None of his tweets for the last month has more than 1000 views.

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

Farage and Reform are traitors to everything English and British.

There should be literally no circumstances, ever, where citizenship is can be revoked. If you literally sign up to fight for an opposing army in a war, then we should prosecute you for treason not revoke citizenship

Maybe if you hadn’t pushed the Brexit that hammered the economy and then pulled your business out of the U.K. into Malaysia and Singapore, and avoided masses of tax, Rachel Reeves would have had more flexibility?

The absolute state of the BBC news just now - which seems determined to drag the government down over the budget.

Where was all this attention to minute detail and concern for absolute accuracy when the Tories were lying their way through their chaotic reign for 14 years? It's frankly absurd.

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.

Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph

Because this does NOT add up!

No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…
