#bbcteesmayor ask him if he thinks this was a good investment of public money?? One of the JV partners Chris Musgraves son able to afford a £300k rolls Royce wearing £1k shoes while 40% of children in Teesside are growing up in poverty

One of these guys continued to work at the building society...

I've got a hunch that millions of British people have done considerably more public service (and at a far cheaper rate, even free) but because King Prince Charles never dances with them, he hasn't noticed...

I'm loving these new Weetabix adverts, where the narration accepts that 'Britain has not been so great of late,' but I'm afraid they misdiagnose the problem:

Happy St George's Day. England's flag is pretty George, but this one's even Georgia.

The Icon of the Seas, the largest cruise ship in the world holds 5,610 in hotel luxury.

The Bibby Stockholm holds 220, or 4000 if you squash them in.

They both cost £1.6bn, one to buy, the other to rent for 2 years.

The corruption and grift is insane.

Jail these crooks.

Running a hotel is quite difficult, requiring multi-disciplinary skills and multi-tasking.

Plus, a hotel in the Outer Hebrides is unlikely to survive without repeat bookings, so the management should ideally be charming and charismatic.

Please think further on this matter.

Told that Mark Menzies is in trouble over Brazilian rent boys, Liz Truss asks:

'Gosh. How many is a brezillion ?'

Looking forward to the Conservative party questioning these housing transactions ⬇️

I’m disgusted by the actions of Matt Vickers MP in my home town targeting Angela Rayner 🌹.

Imagine getting staff from your family business to stage a faux outrage protest when your own party is responsible for the biggest public financial scandal this country has ever faced.

This, plus, the arguably plausible (if suspiciously convenient) theory of 'Trickle Down Economics' has been proven not to function under real world conditions; again and again, in every single attempt, over many decades.

So much for 'taking back control'.

Government by clowns and crooks.

(King) Prince Charles once infamously said to his young bride, 'I refuse to be the first Prince of Wales who never had a mistress.'

Neither the last, my liege, neither the last...

I was once on a panel with Melanie Phillips, I came away from the experience feeling 'almost' sorry for her:

I read her to be someone incapable of experiencing joy in a normal way, who had subsequently come to believe this would be a better world if no one else was happy either.
