As a company from eastern Germany, we know that building a wall to try and keep people from leaving isn't a good idea.

Nothing says traveling for work quite like sitting in an airport hotel room, late at night, after your flight connection missed from delays, eating some of your son's birthday cake (on his birthday) on a bed, then getting 2.5 hours sleep for your rescheduled flight at 6am.

HOW TO DEFEAT BORIS: all other parties should stand down in Uxbridge & South Ruislip at the next election, and let me take him down. That way he won't just lose, he'll lose in the way he deserves. #BinBoris

If the Conservatives cling on for dear life, we can reach infinite Tory resignations by July 2024.

[Christopher Bull @VirtualChrisB]

I'm hoping they'll do the right thing and announce intention for general election 🇬🇧

...reality is more likely sticking head in the sand and doing a show of force. Trying to give confidence to nation and the markets. 🤮🤡

[@AlexSeewald.com on 🦋 @aseewald]

Announcing an announcement.
