Digital stuff, media, advertising & marketing. Still love content. Represent advertisers. Wonder what’s happening to democracy. Find peace in the allotment.
Despite all the precedents, it is incredible to watch media figures & outlets who were supremely comfortable with a Prime Minister breaking all manner of rules, regulations & conventions hysterically attacking a Prime Minister who has broken precisely none.
I asked @Keir_Starmer many months ago,if a general election was called tomorrow were they ready for Government. His answer was an emphatic YES...and I now see why. Depth of talented Ministers forming an impressive Cabinet....I am beginning to dare to feel hope.
I couldn’t be more grateful to my wonderful local Labour team for all their efforts over the past 6 weeks. They’ve run the most visible, enthusiastic and energetic campaign of all the parties and I’m very proud of them.
Whatever the result, they are on the map in #EastWiltshire
OK... I have had a chance to take a good look at the Labour Manifesto...it's well considered, comprehensive and although I know none of us will like everything ( I am disappointed around the support for Nature..although I welcome the clean rivers and new forests) there is some seriously good stuff in it. I think it's time for a new approach...we were stuck in a reactive pinball game and now limbo when we need to move forward. I want a serious Government and that looks very much like Labour to me.
Labradors - double coated, waterproofed & insulated - were bred from St John’s Water Dogs, carefully selected to retrieve fish from the semi-arctic waters of Newfoundland and Labrador for their fishermen owners.
Here are 3 of them, begging to get inside to escape light drizzle.
How many Angela Rayner Units in a Tory? #AngelaRayners

One Angela Rayner Unit of £1,500 is what the Tories claim she may owe in CGT on a house she bought in 2007. Her tax advisor says she doesn't.
With @Conservatives hypocrisy reaching explosive levels, I thought it a good exercise to see how this claim of theirs relates to just some of their own waste, fines and dodgy dealings.

I'm proud to have been selected as the @UKLabour candidate for #EastWiltshire - the constituency where I grew up.
It's a new seat and a chance for a new start after 14 years of Tory rule - as soon as the PM plucks up the courage to give you your say. https://t.co/AGNWOkdfOQ
So far this has to be one of the most lacklustre Budget speeches I have ever heard. #Budget2024 If this is meant to boost Tory electoral chances it looks like they have given up.
Hmm, Hunt repeated what Mandelson said about Starmer needing to lose a few pounds. FWIW, I don't think should have been said first time around and certainly not repeated by CX. Bad taste
