- Gucci going fur free to help the environment makes no sense. Real fur is the most natural fashion item unlike all chemical based materials
- Good. A prime minister older than me again.
- ed d is a decent guy. after he beat me for selection to Kingston many years ago he called the next day to tell me to keep looking for a parliamentary seat and encourage me. it kept me going ! in the end he won with 56 votes me with 2. !!
- Replying to @BBCPolitics and @BBCOneagain no lib dem !! bbc need to understand the party won over 70’seats
- This won’t be a popular message. But spare a thought for these MPs they are about to face losing their jobs the week before Xmas. They are hated. They get abused and shouted at. Stress levels must be high. Bet mental health issues and drinking is on increase in Westminster
- I took part in this program. The people were very real. If not they deserve a oscar
- After 2 years writing just submitted my novel to a publisher- expecting lots of rejections but will keep trying and trying !
- If you don’t work hard for your constituents they won’t re elect you. I was fortunately able to win four elections in Winchester. Sadly some seats are so solid blue or red a lazy idiot could win them. So the voters need to wake up and be prepared to switch votes much more
- Still not voted ? I won Winchester by just 2 votes and remember we got a couple to vote just before 10 pm. So go do it
