Jon Moynihan donated over £700,000, Liz Truss nominated him to the Lords and today is his first day. If that makes your blood boil, you can sign the petition here: https://t.co/8dgXBgHkuH
No.63 in a list of Tory/Brexit consequences:-
8 years of watching our assets looted, our reputation trashed, our rights & freedoms stripped away, our decency diminished and our democracy non-existent. Surely a change must be coming?
Right now, @Mark_Spencer is considering letting a pesticide that's lethal to bees back onto fields - despite the Gov's own scientists saying it should stay banned. Want him to make the right decision and protect bees? Add your name: https://t.co/SlDffwMRiz
I just signed the petition calling on Paula Vennells, the former CEO of the Post Office to be stripped of her CBE. Will you sign too? #MrBatesVSThePostOffice https://t.co/ybpq2yk4RO via @38degrees
BREAKING: The Guardian drops bombshell, reveals that Trump’s co-conspirators Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and John Eastman have NOT been offered any immunity plea deals by Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis — and are freaking out over it.
But it gets even WORSE for them…
The Guardian reports that they’re terrified that District Attorney Fani Willis is “vindictively forcing them to trial” for trying to help Trump steal the election — and not giving them ANY way to weasel out of it.
The Guardian also reports that “the lack of offers from the Fulton county district attorney, Fani Willis, in contrast to those deals agreed with the other Trump election lawyers Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell, has caused some of Trump’s top co-defendants to reconsider their legal strategy and weigh options such as seeking an expedited trial or trying to sever their cases.”
The Guardian report continues, “Additional apprehension in that group has come from speculation among their lawyers that Trump’s former chief of staff Mark Meadows is “in the market” for a plea deal to be rid of the case, after he evaded charges in the federal 2020 election subversion case in Washington.
Meadows appears to have emerged unscathed from the federal criminal investigation led by the special counsel Jack Smith after he was forced to testify in March to the federal grand jury under a court order that gave him so-called limited-use immunity. But the fact that Meadows testified only after being compelled by a court order appears to suggest he was a reluctant witness, which may not help his negotiating position with Fulton county prosecutors.”
The walls are closing in all around them — and just like with Donald Trump himself, Fani Willis is giving them no way out except prison.
Please retweet and hit the ❤️ to thank District Attorney Fani Willis for holding Trump and his co-conspirators accountable — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX
The PM really does need to understand that he is now further damaging U.K. science by not immediately rejoining Horizon, presumably to placate some know-nothing fringe bloviators who know nothing about science, its value or how it’s conducted. As Lord Rees says below, it is baffling. Get on with it.
Michelle Mone was ordered by the courts to pay back £232,000,000 7 months ago.
She sailed off in this boat and hasn’t paid a penny and nothing has been done to try collect.
Must be nice to be immune to the law.

A Russian "military correspondent" wrote his reaction to the death of Ukrainian novelist Viktoria Amelina. Below is the translation of his Telegram post.
I decided to share this post for two reasons. The first is, obviously, the reaction itself to the death of a civilian woman, who was having dinner with her Colombian colleagues (@hectorabadf among them) in Kramatorsk when Russia attacked the pizzeria with Iskander missile. And, secondly, I was appalled by the amount of support and approval this post(see the reactions section on the screenshot).
"I was happy to learn that Lviv novelist Victoria Amelina also died as a result of the missile attack on Kramatorsk. She was in that very cafe where the blessed Iskander missile, which had been revered by the unhappy Russian people, flew in. Victoria was born in Lviv and being a flesh-and-blood stupid fool, she went to Canada with her parents. On the wave of Maidan she came back and began to praise this very Maidan. She chose expansionism of the moronic culture into the native Russian lands as the goal of her writings. She believed that there were wrong Ukrainians living in the East, russified and she needed to help fix them and bring them back into the fold of their native moronic "culture". She founded a book festival in the village of New York (Ukraine), I remind you that this is a Russian village of Novgorodskoye, to promote her rotten ideas. So the Russian God struck this Ukrainian scum with a blow of justice retaliation. For every fool who cannot sit at home, there is a Iskander. Because God is with us. And he knows where to aim the Iskander. He won't miss. Be good! Burn in hell, you scum."
