BOY A is being (re)Published tomorrow, with a beautifully written introduction, by the amazing young writer Colin Walsh, in the @serpentstail 'Classics' list.
I was a young writer once.
Now I'm a 'Classic'.
It's very flattering, to be a Classic.
But it's not like being young...
The exact same people who promised that removing VAT from energy bills was going to be an enormous #Brexit Benefit, are now saying it's a meaningless gesture which will make no difference, when Andy Burnham actually does it...
My earliest traceable ancestor was a man called Trigo, born 1495.
Trigo arrived in England after fleeing the Spanish Inquisition. To found a 500 year line.
We're all boat people. We’re all refugees. Any difference is merely a matter of timing...

Reform’s former leader in Wales Nathan Gill has been jailed for 10 years after accepting pro-Russia bribes of tens of thousands of pounds.
Reform spokespeople previously suggested their leaders didn't really know Gill.
Despite all these pictures of him with Nigel Farage.
Nigel Farage, a spouter of Kremlin talking points himself (quite possibly for free) says close friend and UKIP, Brexit Party & Reform Party Leader for Wales - now a jailed traitor - Nathan Gill, is simply "one bad apple".
The expression is: 'One Bad Apple Rots the Whole Barrel'.

Looks like Marine Le Penn is about to enter a period which her biographers will come to refer to as the 'find out' years...
Long-running embezzlement trial: prosecution requests MLP gets 5-year sentence, with 2 years of guaranteed jail time & 5 years of political ineligibility.
🇫🇷 5 ans de prison dont 2 ans ferme aménageables, et une peine d'inéligibilité de 5 ans à l'encontre de Marine Le Pen, c'est ce qu'a requis l'accusation dans l'affaire des assistants parlementaires du RN, pour laquelle elle est jugée devant le tribunal de Paris #AFP

Come on, Tom, this is pretty basic stuff:
The UK was warned (including by its own security heads) before the Brexit referendum that it could lose real-time access to EU crime data base.
And it has...
