But didn't Bear Grylls take Obama hiking in Alaska? Surely that's an unforgivable sin in the Satsuma's eyes?
This piece in The Spectator by @shippersunbound.bsky.social has an absolutely mad detail that I was not previously aware of spectator.com/article/auth...

Badenoch to Starmer: "When he was leader of the opposition, the Prime Minister said, and I quote, 'I never turn on my staff. When they make mistakes, I carry the can". What changed?"

One of the things that ought to change in any Number 10 shake up is this sort of thing. Whatever you think of whether he’s the right person for the job he’s dedicated his life to public service and no one (in any job!) deserves to be treated like this.

the whole thing is of course completely revolting. 20 YEARS to settlement for refugees? no settlement if you’ve ever had a criminal conviction or a tax debt? 10 YEARS added if you’ve ever received benefits? partners and children on their own routes to settlement? What are you even TALKING about
