Today I received a Christmas card which was posted on 12th December. Nearly a month to cover 65 miles or so. Google reckons I could walk it in just under 24 hours. Sigh.

Oh… because net migration has plummeted under Labour… including non eu countries…
Anybody who breaks into our country illegally must be quickly DETAINED and REMOVED. Labour have failed on immigration. Small boat crossings have surged, and migrants are being put up in hotels at the expense of the British taxpayer. It's a disgrace.

“I don’t doubt that Maduro is a criminal but so is Trump. I don’t doubt that Maduro rigged the elections, but so did Trump. I don’t doubt that Maduro weaponized the justice system but so has Trump” ~Rev Kevin Johnson of Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem

I am endlessly in awe of the sheer political and diplomatic naïveté of people who think the British Prime Minister should conduct the rhetoric of international relations as if he were some ranting bloke sitting in an attic on his Facebook account. Grow up.

Maduro was a brutal ruler, it’s true. So is Putin—who Trump supports. So was Bolsonaro, who Trump supports. So was the drug-trafficking former head of Honduras, who Trump just pardoned. So is Nayib Bukele in El Salvador. MBS. Bibi. Stop pretending Trump cares about illegitimacy.

Lady Mone is now being allowed to keep her 15,000 per week rental income, and she's yet to pay a penny back. The government should seize all of her assets. RT if you agree.
Lady Michelle Mone stole £122,000,000 by supplying dodgy PPE to NHS workers who were dying on the frontline of the pandemic. She also owes £39,000,000 in taxes. Lade Mone was given a life peerage by Lord David Cameron. Michael Gove and Matt Hancock facilitated the PPE fraud.

This is indefensible. Lord Wolfson can either be Shadow Attorney General or Roman Abramovich's lawyer. He can't be both.

The Tory Shadow Attorney General is also now Abramovich’s legal counsel - apparently working to protect his assets from efforts to recover them for Ukraine. Barristers should not be judged by the character of their clients. But his political position is clearly untenable.

As Zelensky visits the White House and gets bullied again, remember this clip of Marco Rubio explaining the U.S. promised to defend Ukraine FOREVER if they gave up their nukes when the USSR fell. That’s why Lil Marco hides. He hoped we wouldn’t find it. Don’t share it right now.

“Who was Wenceslas-or ‘Wenceslaus’ as it is often written. Probably he is some relation to Santa Claus. They were brothers: Santa and Wense Claus. Santa brought the presents round on Christmas Day, and Wense looked out on Boxing Day to see no mistakes had been made.”~A.A.Milne

Glad that our allies didn’t adopt this position when we were attacked on a different continent than Europe on September 11, 2001.
Rubio on Russia-Ukraine: "It's not our war. It's a war on another continent."
