Exactly! Too little too late, and a pathetic act of self-preservation! Regardless of this 'show' they need to pay their own way, and taxes!

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.

“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.”

Most probably among them were sisters Anne and Margot Frank who died there of typhus in February 1945.

Funny how I don’t remember the Conservatives or Farage complaining when the government was wasting £billions on unusable PPE during the pandemic. 🤷‍♂️

The inquiry is not perfect, but it is important!

Covid-19 Bereaved Families For Justice UK @cbffjuk.bsky.social · 3d

The cost of the Covid Inquiry so far amounts to 0.01% of annual Gov spending.

The likes of Nigel Farage and Ian Duncan Smith are now saying this is too expensive, and it should be wound up.

That's 0.01% for an inquiry into the worst public health crisis in a generation.
