He was already succeeding in life when he met his wife. 3. Politicians shouldn’t stop saying stuff that’s true, just because a tweeterer is likely to snark back. He’s in the situation where anything he says will get smart arse replies. Much of that situation entirely self created. This isn’t a sympathy post, but I find it hard to dig him out for that tweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The message is fine, get someone else better qualified to deliver it. If they really mean it that is (they don't!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are standing back and considering all the context and all the basic truth. In an election campaign, I would not want you advising me on what to tweet and how the world will receive it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, he didn't need to marry into a billionaire's family to succeed in life, he merely needed to be born into a family able to afford the fees at Winchester College (36k a year at the moment) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 The Ross Kemp lookalike has now been identified as government special advisor Frederick Ellery. They have drawn more attention to the whole thing than had they have not gone to the underhand effort of standing in front of the lady whose face simply reflected what most people think about the bollocks Sunak spews. Do these idiots think that staged questions from plants in the audience or a few happy clappers around Sunak are going to convince enough of us to forget what has happened over the last 14 years and give them another 5.
