    In Lisbon I went out for a meal. I had to have proof of a Covid test *that day*, but didn’t. So the restaurant sold me a Lateral flow test for €2.50. I went in & enjoyed my meal, with all the other tested customers. Pretty simple really. No fuss and no arguing about “freedoms”.

    Starmer has been given the nod of approval by the City. UK markets are up and Sterling is up. Uncertainly in the US & France will now make the UK highly investable & may also may mean a rate cut. The Tories promised stability - it *arrived* after they were kicked out of office…

    The UK population *only began Googling the meaning* of 'No deal Brexit' in July 2018. Do not believe Brexiteers when they say the public signed-up to this at the referendum. #NoDealBrexit

    Nigel Farage is raising money in the US to influence a possible U.K. election. This is the work of a traitor, pure and simple.

    Nigel Farage has joined forces with Americans to form new lobbying body to raise 💰 for Brexit. “World4Brexit” was launched in New York and attended by Trump supporters including Corey Lewandowski, former Trump campaign manager, and Phil Bryant, the gov of Mississippi.

    It’s against international maritime law not to aid a vessel in distress. Furthermore, this is not journalism!
