So @Charlotte_Hunt_ is selling a fridge on Gumtree and immediately starts getting messages like this. The first one gets a bit of “no, we can discuss here” and they disappear. This one… gets a burner address to see how weird shit gets. What’s the angle? There’s always an angle…

A clear breach of the Ministerial Code, worn as a badge of pride by Sunak's government, which claimed to have integrity at its heart.

Prediction: the Tory party will abandon its support for Brexit before Labour does. Explanation: There is no electoral case for Labour to turn against brexit; they have the pro-EU votes in their pocket anyway, and if they pick up a few brexiter votes that is a bonus. 1/

Rishi Sunak in genius mode… explaining why having full access to UK home market and EU Single Market is so prized by investors. Could even explain why UK’s massive internal investment dropped when Brexit pulled England, Scotland and Wales out of exactly that enviable position.

The recent WhatsApp accounts takeover is simple and genius. This is how it works: You're sleeping. A "hacker" tries to login to your account via WhatsApp. You get a text message with a pincode that says "Do not share this". You don't share it, yet you still get hacked. How?
