I've just shut up the East Wing, reduced Simmonds to a 5 day week, and sacked Rogers the chauffeur for much the same reason.
Seems I'll have to drive the children back to school in the Bentley myself this Easter term.

Why would this be controversial? If Musk was a Chinese billionaire we'd be up in arms. How is this not potential political interference by foreign forces?

If you are thinking about making big life changes, this is what I wrote for NYE 2021. Can’t believe April will be 5 years since I turned it around.

I spent years trying to drink and eat myself numb. Then I began a year of intense transformation
Who, at my age, truly starts over? But I did. I gave up booze, took up running and found the strength and stamina to fight for a better future

as said many times before, campism is incredibly West-centric bc it's never concerned in the slightest with the agency of non-western peoples, reducing struggles elsewhere and everywhere to a fake anti-imperialist analysis centering US foreign policy

The importance of a strong judiciary in a democracy cannot be overstated...
Romania’s constitutional court has annulled the first round of the presidential election after declassified intelligence showed Russia ran a secret campaign on TikTok and Telegram to promote the Far Right first round winner Calin Georgescu, a complete outsider.
This is how you do it.

For all the trolls swarming around me I’m not Australian (he’s the short guy), I’m also not a champagne socialist, I grew up on a council estate, left school with no qualifications, studied O’levels at night, worked my way through law school & when not holding power to account drink beer. Cheers🍺

Rachel Reeves has a degree in politics, philosophy and economics from Oxford (the same degree her predecessor Hunt got) and a masters in economics from LSE. Her former colleague at Bank of England has also confirmed she did work as an economist whilst there. Pass it on.

"Elon Musk, whose companies have received nearly $8 billion in government funding through an assortment of federal grants, tax breaks, government subsidies and contracts, proposed today that senior citizens need to 'tighten their belt' to help balance the national budget."
See? It's not hard.

Here one of Elon Musk's lickspittles explains their plan: Persuade regular Americans to accept huge cuts to Social Security and Medicare so that billionaires can get gigantic tax cuts. I don't think they'll be able to pull it off, but we'll see.

Here’s a really great example of some personal branding, and using club comms to tell individual stories.
Firstly, Southampton Women identified fans who’ve followed the club the longest and paid them a visit with a gift.
That’s nice enough on its own, but there’s a bit more.
