When Tory donor Frank Hester reportedly said Diane Abbott – the longest-serving Black MP – made him “want to hate all black women” and that she “should be shot”, Kemi Badenoch dismissed it as “trivia”. When Kneecap, made a similarly abhorrent past remark she wants them banned. #TwoTierKemi

One odd thing about all this is that that those who shout about wanting "de-regulation" are also clapping and cheering at tariffs, the one of the oldest forms of, well, regulating trade. Words are detached from concepts, no connections are being made. Muddled (lack of) thinking instead of policy.

Norton are incredible scammers. If I activate auto-renewal on Norton 360 Deluxe, they want to charge me £89.99 a year. But I can get official 1-year licences on Amazon for about £12, or £14.99 from Currys. That idiot tax for going direct is absolutely astounding. Never seen such price gouging!
