    My first book, the chillingly prescient but also very entertaining ‘How To Be Right’, is on special offer on Kindle for the whole of December. A steal at £1.99. Treat yourself or someone you love/hate!
    How To Be Right: … in a world gone wrong
    From amazon.co.uk

    My youngest has had my old phone for a couple of years. Just for games, which I download for her before disconnecting the internet. Still has my old contacts though & it turns out she’s been messaging my dad, who died 5 years ago. I may have something in my eye.

    I don’t want to jump the gun or anything but Boris Johnson isn’t a very good Prime Minister, is he?

    There’s something rather significant about Boris Johnson speaking up for statues of dead white supremacists while Marcus Rashford speaks up for 1.3 million hungry British children of every creed & colour.

    Until last week, Russian oligarchs could buy a British passport, no questions asked. Today, there is no ‘legal’ route to the U.K. for Ukrainians fleeing Russian war crimes. Both are deliberate Conservative government policies.

    If they served cheese & wine at COBRA meetings, maybe the Prime Minister would turn up.

    This Sainsbury’s social media chap has a better grasp of reality than the best-paid columnists in the country. Kudos to Chris.

    I am aware of a vile and obvious libel against me made on here last night and am taking legal advice accordingly. Thank you for all your expressions of concern.

    If you think these lies are bad, wait until you hear about Brexit.

    The police have arrested what appear to be peaceful republican protesters in Trafalgar Square. It’s in everybody’s interests, especially the Met’s, that they explain exactly why as soon as possible. No matter what you think about monarchy, this is a deeply disturbing moment.
