Aside from his mum, no one is grieving his loss. Let’s not waste public money on an enquiry. It was probably a lifer who did it. As someone whose grandfather was brutally murdered (no conviction) there’s a part of me who believes in this kind of justice!

Ironic twist in tale - Gulf states and the US want to buy interceptor drones off Ukraine so they don't have to use up hundreds of Patriot missiles costing millions of dollars each to shoot down drones that cost around $30k apiece.
You would hope you Ukrainians extract some concessions in return!

Far fewer 12 yr old incest victims in Iran than adult women in US no longer in control of their reproductive organs. But they’ll never see it that way!

I’m always confused (as a former hack myself) by this new female journalist genre of mea culpa plus a need to explain every detail of their menopause and/or sex life with a heavy load of bitchiness to other women they deem beneath them. I ask any male journalists doing this? πŸ€”

Thank heavens for the Magna Carta! What excuse does the US law prosecution service have then? Ah yes their boss!

Yep fits perfectly with my impression of him. I read recently that after meeting him at the NSPCC he flew next day to New York β€œon behalf” of the children’s protection charity to meet you know who! I feel he used his NSPCC patron role as a front.

Magna Carta was issued in June 1215 and was the first document to put into writing the principle that the king and his government was not above the law. It sought to prevent the king from exploiting his power, and placed limits of royal authority by establishing law as a power in itself.

As previously mentioned I met Andrew while working at the NSPCC (the absolute irony) and immediately disliked his openly lecherous manner towards a buxom colleague. He has only himself to blame!

Mark my words, this is bigger than the Profumo affair that brought down a government and irreversibly changed British society. It was known as the β€œEnd of Deference” to the aristocracy. This could well be the end of the monarchy!

We don’t have a constitution in the UK but we have the Magna Carta which rules that no one (even kings and ex princes) is above the law! #andrew

I wonder how many times people are willing to say β€œGet Well” before they decide we must be faking it or being dramatic etc?

I’ve lost so many friends to my hidden illnesses…and yet then they message when they fall sick and look for advice πŸ™„

Also in this mix is possibility of hypothyroidism as well as mast cell activation disorder both of which can be tamed so see if you can get either ruled out as not obvious (ever) to most GPs!

15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage.
I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong.
Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole.
Bill and Bob - I'm coming for you...

Reform by-election candidate suggested people who don’t have kids should pay more tax Exclusive: The Reform politician’s suggestion would β€˜punish millions of women and strip them of their basic dignity to choose’, Labour’s deputy leader has warned

So as I struggled with miscarriage after miscarriage before having my 🌈 baby, Reform would seriously think I should pay more tax during that agony.

This policy isn’t just a slippery slope to a handmaids tale dystopian future - it’s a deliberate step towards it

The #wintergames get less media attention but are more thrilling than the summer ones. I worked at the 1998 Winter Games in Japan. It was one of the highlights of my career as a reporter to there just as the competitor had won gold and capture the moment they’d dreamed their whole lives to achieve 🀩
