I’ll never get tired of saying thank you SO much to all the amazing book bloggers who have taken Franklin and Red to their hearts. I remember being absolutely terrified of what book lovers would make of my little story of redemption. So this is very special. #bookcommunity ❤️

So, ..went to the pub last night and on the walk home I came across this odd-looking bird. It looked a bit like a black hen, or something? It was in a car park just sitting there. And it was clearly badly injured, because I watched it for a bit and it wasn’t moving at all…

So, an MP was sending pics of his bits to a stranger on Grindr. The person (feasibly a Russian agent) then blackmailed him into revealing sensitive information. The MP won’t resign, not even lose the whip, we’re just told he’s brave for admitting it. THIS is how far we’ve fallen.

So, let’s get this straight, we borrow a ton of money and give it to really wealthy people who don’t need it. And HOPE that they decide to invest that money in the UK rather than do what they always do, which is bury it offshore or buy another yacht. And THAT is the plan??
