Oh my. I don't have a subscription for the Times, so am happy for anyone that does to let me know if they've scrutinised any alleged youthful indiscretions by (for example) Farage, or Johnson, with the same laser-like focus. Unless this is a very clever satirical piece, in which case..

Jonathan Gullis defects to Reform saying his former party has "lost touch with the people it was meant to serve".
He should know. When he was in Government he took a five-figure donation from JCB, then stayed silent when it axed hundreds of his constituents' jobs just two weeks later

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

Just shaking my head sadly at how my local Tesco has effectively cancelled Christmas from the calendar.

Hopefully the angryheads will be happy to see both the John Lewis and the Waitrose Christmas ads populated almost exclusively with white actors. I gather that it's quite important to them, for some bizarre reason.
