It’s not just #pets it’s everywhere #childcare to #Technology #PE are just in it to make £££ rather than offer competitive value for money offerings

I’ve known @MarsGlobal long history with pets @wearefordogs but still cannot work out why the big difference in price other than postcode.

@BBCPanorama #vets we recently got quotes for Laryngeal Tie Back on our dog and can say that a #Linnaeus @MarsGlobal business was best fixed price £2400 vs £5-6k locally. But agree the PE owned ones are using behaviour techniques to leverage the human emotions get more money.

In April, Ray McCann agreed to meet us once his report of #McCannReview into #LoanCharge settlement terms was published. We have a number of key questions & issues, including real concern that the Government has watered down the recommendations, preventing resolution for many.

@libdemdaisy @bozwaldcoblepot And the money it’s cost in legal fees to bring these Tory donors to account

Kemi Badenoch should apologise for the sleaze and scandal under the Conservatives - billions wasted on Covid contracts whilst Tory donors profited. After calling the Partygate scandal “overblown”, will she finally do the right thing and condemn this latest PPE scandal?

@kevinhollinrake No different to Tory cronyism

Shady group Labour Together secretly bankrolled Starmer. This week we exposed the scandal – McSweeney & LT’s web of deceit made the front page. Now Labour rush out Digital ID cards to distract from the truth. And guess who’s behind that policy? You got it. Labour Together…

I’ve been Foreign Secretary, I’ve done senior ambassadorial appointments. Let me explain why the Mandelson situation is even worse than it first appears. The Foreign Secretary has a huge amount of power when it comes to appointing Heads of Missions. Head of Mission is the general term for Ambassadors, High Commissioners, and Permanent Representatives to international bodies like the UN. Basically the choice of who the top diplomat is in an overseas post is down to the Foreign Secretary. In almost all cases the choice is from a list of career diplomats, who have years (often decades) of experience, have been vetted, and tested by experience, and have previously held junior diplomatic positions around the world. But the Foreign Secretary can choose someone else. Someone without those attributes. Clearly the Foreign Office system doesn’t like it when the FS does this and almost always advises against it. That’s not to say that choosing an outsider is wrong, just that that the FCDO will make it clear that doing so carries additional risks. And those risks sit with the Minister rather than the Department. Obviously I wasn’t involved with any of the conversations about Peter Mandelson but I know the FCDO well and I know the personalities of the people who would have advised David Lammy about this appointment. They would have reminded Lammy that Mandelson had resigned in disgrace twice before. They would have reminded Lammy that Mandelson had a longstanding relationship with Epstein. They would have reminded Lammy that Mandelson had widespread, complicated, and opaque commercial interests. I have no doubt that they would have reminded Lammy that he and the PM were importing significant reputational risk if they appointed Mandelson. I have no doubt they would have unambiguously advised Lammy against appointing Mandelson to the post. And it is now clear that Lammy and Starmer ignored that advice and appointed him anyway. And now we have no ambassador to the USA, a new Foreign Secretary, an imminent state visit, a damaged relationship with the White House, and humiliation for British diplomacy. But most of all we have a number of unanswered questions about what Starmer and Lammy knew, when did they know it, and why they went ahead with Mandelson’s appointment.

@UniversalEvent @aliciakearns theleveller.gaffen.co.uk/burd-epstein-p…

@aliciakearns Tories. The party of absolute propriety.

“We do have the full answers on (Mandelson)...what we've seen from Keir Starmer is that everything is out now.” Labour Minister Mike Tapp will regret these words… the Govt will too. Remember he ran to be a Select Committee Chair weeks into his election to Parliament? When questioned on my calls for Mandelson to be summoned to the Foreign Affairs Committee seemingly he doesn’t understand the basics of how committees work, and isn’t quite so confident he likes the idea of parliamentary scrutiny any more…

@aliciakearns theleveller.gaffen.co.uk/burd-epstein-p…

@pritipatel theleveller.gaffen.co.uk/burd-epstein-p…

Starmer and his Party are rotten to the core. From defending Mandelson’s relationship with a convicted paedophile, to their housing minister’s evasion of property taxes, Labour are not fit to run Britain. They are incapable of standing up to scrutiny, lack integrity and have no moral compass.

Embarrassing

@MATatBucks How many tories resigned/sacked in similar time frames?

@MATatBucks @BucksCouncil Do you have to have a different induction for each library?

Just had my induction for the new @BucksCouncil libraries ‘library flex’. Excellent session at Beaconsfield library by wonderful staff. Using modern technology to enable longer opening hours and self service
