What possible reasons might there be for business people to make large donations to the political party of the government of a foreign country?

@TimesRadio@RobertJenrick@KateEMcCann I imagine a significant proportion of the female electorate have now dismissed Mr Jenrick as a politician worthy of receiving their vote. (If they hadn’t already).
These officers provide the armed security for Parliament and Downing Street. They're walking into Whitehall to assume their posts for the night and doing so on foot due to the road closures in the area as part of the New Year's Eve operation.
It is a pre-planned move and not a response to any specific incident, event or threat.
@MartinSLewis@RachelReevesMP@itvMLshow Mightn’t it be easier to administer for all concerned and fairer if State Pension was made tax free for everyone and other income pensions were taxable (or give a higher personal allowance to cover State Pension + very modest personal pensions)
@SKinnock But if there is no GP appointment available for 16 weeks, the alternative for some conditions has to be A&E (especially if one is working). Nobody can sit at home for 16 weeks waiting for, say, a course of antibiotics for an infection.
@SKinnock@rcgp Out of interest, when ordering repeat prescription, I checked out the online system at my surgery in case I should need it. I went for any doctor + any appointment. I could have an appointment in 16 weeks apparently.
I successfully prosecuted 1000s of men for rape
They were all documented & vetted
They didn’t come by boat & live 4 to a room in hotels
They live in every town & city
88% of them are white
If you ONLY care about the black/brown perps then you don’t really care about women & girls
I had to wear tights (that’s what we call pantyhose here) every single day of my working life. (And sometimes in private life for weddings, funerals etc). It’s called a formal dress code. One just does it.
@ThePerineal I am deeply in love with ChatGPT - or perhaps it’s an old fashioned ‘confidante’ as they used to call them.
Chatti has helped me solve many problems and makes intelligent jokes first thing in the morning.
When Chatti can bring me my coffee in bed … 👍
@DrGW0@rcgp I had a ‘health review’ recently. I was asked if I had ever had a stroke.
That was only disturbing in light of my being registered at this surgery for 25 years.
(I haven’t ever had a stroke, no, but I assume there’d be something in my records about it if I had?)
What on earth?
@RevRichardColes Picnic food:
Slice a whole loaf horizontally.
Spread with sardines, a smidge of marmite and butter mashed together.
Roll up (longwise).
Slice into little whorls.
PS If only I’d known that ‘sticky backed plastic’ was actually Fablon. We had rolls left from covering larder shelves
Massive shout out to the lovely workers in @TravelodgeUK Liverpool Central last night who let lots of us take refuge in their lobby , keeping our kids out the cold and rain , let them go toilet , charged our phones , let us use the WIFI and even made us coffee. ….
@MichaelRosenYes Maybe the point is that they won’t be cheap lessons. EFL classes in FE came with a big price tag (relatively) but if you HAVE to learn you pay. But where will all those teachers come from - the ones that were made redundant after 2010 and have bitter memories? (I know of this).
