It's obviously been brought out in the summer to hit the summer med audience like that Keira knightley one, which was set at Christmas last year.

The irony of today's VE Day commemorations of having a flight past from the 'battle of Britain' planes based in fascist Lincolnshire! Many veterans will be turning in their graves! #BomberCounty #VEDay

Just watched the Home Counties private schoolboy Nigel Farage telling northern voters how he understands steelworkers because he used to work in the β€œmetals business” himself. He was, ahem, a commodities trader at the London Metal Exchange in the City.

December 1st is World AIDS Day.

A day to think of those who have died and those living with HIV. Together, let's end the stigma.

See the new announcements from Wes Streeting on plans to end new HIV transmissions in England by 2030.

Mariella Frostrup, "The toxic narrative around migrants"

FB, "Are you blaming people like Jacob Rees-Mogg for that?"

MF, "I blame a toxic narrative, politicians treat it like a political football, we talk about numbers instead of people - any of us could be in those unfortunate situations"

That’s not trolling the UK govt anymore - that’s straight up campaigning for a political party in a foreign country.

It’s serious.

Kemi’s mother travelled from Nigeria to the UK to give birth in St Teresa's private hospital before the British Nationality Act 1981 abolished automatic birth-right citizenship for those born in the United Kingdom, and then returned to Nigeria shortly after Badenoch was born.

Look I'm sure she was just "there for the small holders" - in the same way that Lord Lloyd (4,000 acres) Webber was.

Important context here:

● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares)

● "a big farm" is 217 acres.

Now let's see who's angry:

● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres
● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres
● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres
● Dyson owns 36,000 acres
