The CURRENT sitting MP for Clacton earns £511,000 as a presenter for GB News and took £281,000 as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion.

My auto correct just delivered me the words ‘Egg Tharp’ if you need a protagonist name for a deeply felt portrayal of boyhood in a touching coming of age saga that crosses the ‘Fleischman Is In Trouble’ space

The papers keep confusing ‘rich people who don’t self identify as rich’ with ‘people of minimal resources who are being dealt unbearable & unjust taxation blows in this communist nightmare’

Listening to Jeff Buckley yesterday on a walk through town & saw a pigeon with a little disabled foot, like a wad of chewing gum, hopping awkwardly. Absolutely untenable feels at this point in menstrual cycle

I love Gail's work. I did a generic repost and then cancelled it to say this instead - just reposting is easy but feels a bit impersonal sometimes? And since I have actually bought from Gail several times I thought it was worth saying so. It's good stuff, and a small business well worth supporting.
Hello!
It doesn’t cost anything to repost but it helps me spread the word about my small business.
My online shop is full of bold & colourful prints, homewares and cards.
I’m also available for freelance design work and art licensing.

Apologies for research Q: ✍🏻 - if you get married at a registry office with just 2 witnesses, is there a paperwork bit for the marrying couple before or after the vows that the witnesses aren’t needed for? 👰🏻♀️

I know Taylor is architect of own downfall with her clues & Easter eggs, but I still find the frenzy of literalism where her lyrics can’t be *made up cool stories* rather than honest testimony, very odd. Like we are going to demand police check if Jake Gyllenhaal’s fridge had an interior light

Amongst other things, this is the problem with the "triangulate with Farage" theory of Labour government - the right does not have a limited list of demands - every time you try to appease them, they just go further.
