To those who think they’re insulting me by saying that I’ve cleaned NHS toilets for 45 years: it’s NOT an insult. The cleaners, porters, laundry, catering and other ancillary staff do a great job and are vital members of the team. Respect to them all. Think of a better insult.

Boris Johnson’s govt wasted £10bn of public PPE during the coronavirus pandemic, official inquiry concludes. Covid-19 inquiry chair, Heather Hallett, also criticised then Conservative govt's controversial “VIP lane” which gave high priority for PPE contracts to firms with political links to the Tories.

So if Farage wins, he won against a bin, & if he loses, he lost against a bin. It’s a bin bin situation.

@SianaNache79742 Congratulations to you both

Guys, I am expecting to have a baby bump very soon. I will post it to you. 🥰❤️🤣🤣 Oh boy! I will be a mum! Oh my goodness

@Ybretsae Hope you are recovering well buddy.

@CockertonMark @Eyeswideopen69 @bbclaurak Here’s what he said about Farage before he defected. “Your comments are offensive & racist. I would be frightened to live in a country run by you.”

@JuliaHB1 First sentence would have sufficed.

Re: Farage hijacking Ann Widdecombe’s death for political purposes, against her families wishes. Also speculating and giving a running commentary against the wishes of the police. It’s bad enough as it is but just imagine, for one dreadful minute, if he was Prime Minister.

Update. This little act took place 3km from the house because the Police turned Farage away as it's an active crime scene so of course he did what any decent person would do, found a nearby farmers field, bought a few flowers from the local petrol station and informed the media.

🔥 Bloody hell. This isn’t a leader column, it is a P45 for Nigel Farage. Nigel Farage is now described as a “vehicle for chaos” whose behaviour is damaging Reform and whose standing “will continue to falter”. And the killer passage: Farage claims to be an insurgent asking voters to believe he’ll sweep away a self-serving political class, but cannot credibly make that case while treating disclosure rules and scrutiny as an intolerable intrusion. The media spent years coveting Farage. Now the worm has turned. 🎥

I’ve never understood why police detectives carry out extensive enquiries and highly detailed forensic investigations when they could just ask everyone on Twitter instead.

Reform losing the plot. Daily stories this week about corruption, dishonesty, sleaze and failure to follow rules. Who does Reform put up to go on @bbclaurak and attempt to change the agenda? The guy who made us pay for keeping his horses warm!

Reported while female. Didn’t work for a right-wing newspaper. Dismissed & ridiculed by men who did. Gaslit for a decade. Sued through the courts. But I’m not the loser here. This decade of denial has caused Britain irreparable harm.

🎶 It’s coming home, it’s coming home 🎶 It’s definitely coming home. Farage’s years of sleaze, association with corruption, avoidance of scrutiny, lack of transparency and contempt for rules. It’s finally coming home. To his 5 homes.

Performative patriotism He’ll wear the shirt but dodge the tax #bbclaurak
