‘Might Yvette Cooper be pointless? asks Alexander Armstrong. I don’t think we need to appear on his quiz show to know the answer to that one.

MEET JONATHAN REYNOLDS. THE MAN NOW IN CHARGE OF THE ENTIRE BRITISH ECONOMY. This is the UK's new Business Secretary. He has never run a business. He has never even worked for one. 🤡 He knows absolutely nothing about risk taking, entrepreneurship, or meeting a payroll. He has never had to hire staff, remortgage his house to provide working capital, or skip his own salary so his employees could have theirs! In fact, he could not even manage to finish his basic training to become a solicitor. Yet the Westminster elite think he is qualified to dictate how British businesses are run! How can we expect our economy to grow when the people running it have never spent a single day in the private sector? They are career politicians who have spent their entire lives living off the taxpayer. RT if you are completely sick of clueless career politicians running our country into the ground! 🇬🇧🔥

Just finished watching Goodbye June, an immensely poignant and wonderfully observational film about the impact of a mother’s death on her dysfunctional family. Brilliant acting and amongst the grief, some lovely touches of humour. I loved it.

If you watch just one clip on Twitter today, make it this one.
This is utterly DAMNING for David Lammy. "We are not looking to convict people as quickly as possible, we are looking for justice." A Barrister clinically dismantles David Lammy's disgraceful decision to scrap jury trials. Watch until the end. It wont even fix the backlog.

This is appalling. As authors we pour our heart and soul into books and often see so little of the profits anyway, but to be owed so much when this book has been so successful, is dreadful. Please help Becky @deathtospinach if you can. ❤️
I'm posting something that I had hoped I'd never have to, and I have stayed quiet for many months Unbound - @unboundsocials - the publisher of my book, Keanu Reeves Is Not In Love With You, owes me many thousands of pounds and has behaved appallingly towards me and dozens of its other authors They went into administration, then IMMEDIATELY set up a new publisher (taking my book with them), saying they would honour what they owed the authors through payment plans After just one installment they said not only are the payment plans not viable but that we wouldn't be receiving our next royalties cheques either I understand things are tough in the industry and I have been loyal thus far, but the manner of communication and the blatant untruths along the way have become too much to bear In the meantime, having left so many of us utterly skint, they are spending money on launching new books I have asked Unbound to revert the rights to my book as I don't want it to go out of existence and for sales to simply go to them while I don't see a penny. I will be putting it out myself through Amazon and am hoping that my followers will help me with some of the associated costs and to recoup just a portion of my losses This book has helped many people identify and subsequently leave fraudulent relationships and I am damned if that's going to stop! I have reluctantly set up a GoFundMe and if you feel you can help me keep the book in circulation, then please sling a couple of quid into the horribly bare pot (For anyone who thinks what they have done is illegal, I'm afraid it's not. Lawyers and forensic accountants have been all over it and they've been very clever in what they've done. All legally above board, although ethically is a whole different story) Thank you everyone 🙏 gofund.me/9d13efc9

The achievement of Sr James #Bourchier (c.1572-1635) and his wife Frances Craine (an escutcheon of pretence). Taken from the #pedigree roll of the Bourchiers, begins with Thom. of Poukeston [Puxton], Worcs, ends with the children of the aforesaid James. #heraldry #genealogy
