Fantastic news this.

There is, however, a "but."

Andrew should have been stripped of his titles, his privilege and his place in the pecking order years ago.

This is the Firm desperately and ruthlessly distancing itself from its most obviously toxic member... because it has to in order to survive.

Today’s Halloween poem is called ‘Come, take this hand in yours’.

Come, take this hand in yours

Come,
take this hand
in yours –

bury it
beneath the trees,

while I go
and get the rest
of him

out of
the deep freeze.

Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:

“We just defeated Nigel Farage’s Bill in Parliament to tear up people’s rights and withdraw from the ECHR.

“Farage wants to do away with the Britain Churchill built and turn it into a version of Trump's America. We stopped him.”
