JOHNSON

What a shambles he is. Humiliated by Angela Rayner his attitude was obnoxious and rude – Sarah Murphy on twitter said it clearly.

sarah murphy@13sarahmurphy. Johnson at PMQs – just a catastrophe of a man… a disgraceful, shouting liar, pointing and raging and talking absolute rubbish. What a shameful spectacle. And so profoundly disrespectful… to Parliament and to all of us. He is utterly revoltingly unforgivably loathsome.

BRISTOL AND PROUD

4 of the people responsible for toppling the statue of slave trader Edward Colston were found not guilty by a court in Bristol. This was despite their pursuit by Home Secretary Priti Patel who spoke to the Chief Constable of Avon and Somerset to demand action, setting a dangerous precedent of political interference in police matters.

KAZAKHSTAN

Kazakhstan government resigns amid unprecedented unrest following energy price hike on Wednesday, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev accepted the resignation of the government after violent protests erupted due to a natural gas price increase in the country.

GOVERNMENT SPENDING

This seems to be something that is only scrutinised in Parliament or on an ad hoc basis. Covid contracts handed out without proper scrutiny, etc. So where does the vast amount shown below actually go? Some of the headings are also rather vague (Law Officers’ Departments, Single Intelligence Account, etc.)?

GARDEN

Time to get prepared – my jobs are cutting back raspberries; cutting back roses; attacking brambles and other invasive around the greenhouse; pruning apple tree; cutting back purple elder and the spikes one! Then move all the mint and herb pots and strim gently.

ESTABLISHMENT

How global is the establishment? We will find out today. I am sure Virginia Giuffre is trying to take Andrew Windsor to the cleaners after having got a $500000 settlement from Epstein. However in my book you cannot bought off! We will see if the Mafia philosophy propounded by Windsor will prevail. It will be interesting to see how the gutter press (Telegraph, Mail, Express, Sun) in particular react. Even if let off it is a fact that he was a ‘good’ friend of a rather sordid individual and a convicted sex trafficker, he was welcome in the villas and planes and apartments where abuse is alleged to have taken place.

GARDEN 2022

Just ordered a trimmer to tidy up the garden a tad. Nothing too major though. I will move the pots and see what comes up from all the bulbs I have planted – and put some plugged ones in from the greenhouse.

BBC – supporting sex trafficking?

So Ghislaine Maxwell is a socialite, not a sex trafficker. The BBC thinks it appropriate to give air time to a possible defendant and Maxwells brother. There is no need for balance once there is a conviction. Is Andrew Windsor sweating now? I hope so! Is the BBC impartial?

BBC at it again “Ms Giuffre is suing the Queen’s son for allegedly sexually assaulting her in London, New York and the Virgin Islands when she was a teenager.”. Why the Queen’s son bit – Prince Andrew is accused as himself – not the Queen’s son.
