Robert Gros made £27m selling useless gowns via the VIP PPE Lane, of course he never paid back a penny, he bought 2 mansions instead.

RT and see if we can make him as famous as Michelle Mone.

Kızımın öğretmeni, sınıftaki ilişkileri düzeltmek için muazzam bir yöntem bulmuş. Cuma günleri her çocuk, hafta boyu kendisine en iyi davranan arkadaşının adını ve sebebini bir kağıda yazıp kutuya atıyor. Kimse kimsenin notunu görmüyor.

Pazartesi günü öğretmen sonucu açıklıyor. Kimin kaç oy aldığını söylemiyor, sadece haftanın şampiyonuna çikolata veriyor. Bazen şampiyon sayısı ikiye, üçe çıkıyor. Kızım dün akşam "Anne, sınıfta gizli bir rekabet var. Herkes çikolatayı kapmak için birbirine deli gibi iyi davranıyor" dedi. ( devamı 👇)

Nigel Farage hasn't voted in Parliament for the last 11 weeks and has now missed 77 votes in a row, according to official records. The last time he turned up was to vote against adraft regulations for the Employment Rights Act, and that says it all.

@RichardJFone @misskcooke @eleanorbobshaw I read it with book group so may have been me 😁

[Rebecca Staples 🙋‍♀️ @Beka_Staples]

Really enjoyed this from book club. I know @misskcooke has read it. @RichardJFone & @eleanorbobshaw not sure about you. A proper book. No gimmicks. A pace more akin to Dickens. An authentic voice. Lovely use of language. Told her other 2 books are even better - start there?

When I want a quick immersive read I turn to crime fiction. Love Peter May’s particularly what was his Lewis trilogy. Now there’s a book 4 (The Black Loch) and it doesn’t disappoint. 😁 @RichardJFone @misskcooke

[Rebecca Staples 🙋‍♀️ @Beka_Staples]

@RichardJFone @misskcooke @eleanorbobshaw Thanks. I’m as you’d expect…grateful she’s released from that ever-darkening glass room of dementia but now grieving for who she truly was 😢
And got my practical head on getting things done! 🥴

@RichardJFone @misskcooke @eleanorbobshaw So very sadly I couldn’t be there for the book group discussion of The Names as it was the day mum died last week. However, told it was an extremely lively debate and the marks out of 10 were wide ranging! It averaged at an 8. So was the perfect choice! 😁

[Rebecca Staples 🙋‍♀️ @Beka_Staples]

@RichardJFone @misskcooke @eleanorbobshaw Might go for that next!
