The clincher, for me, is that what she did will be outlawed when the Renterโ€™s Rights Bill comes in next year. Itโ€™s why the โ€˜didnโ€™t break any rulesโ€™ defence falls short. Of course, Boris Johnson would have promoted her & borrowed the house for a year.

Millionaire Tory Chris Philp says the solution to asylum seekers trying to work is to cancel their asylum application and to leave the ECHR.
As he goes home to privileged comfort, is he proud to have spent another day clamouring to deny the most vulnerable any dignity or control over their lives?

The Gambling industry made ยฃ14bn profit in the UK last year, but paid just over ยฃ3bn in tax.

Gambling like Alcohol and Cigarettes should be taxed so that most of the money goes to the Government as it is equally or even more harmful.

In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this.

Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?

I do legit think we could solve the problem of the shortage of Boris Johnson newspaper columns* with ChatGPT.

*How else do you explain the amount he's paid?**
