I had a moment of masochism this morning and watched ex public school Rupert Lowe waffle away🥴👇🏼 It’s 20 seconds of my life I’ll never get back, but having never seen him speak before, I was amazed❗️ His vacuousness and supreme arrogance are only dwarfed by his overinflated ego.. 🙄 #RupertLoweLife

Michael Heseltine is 100% correct when he says Brexiteers sold Britain a “pack of lies” called for UK to rejoin the EU The former deputy PM said the UK should be “at the heart of Europe” & returning to the bloc would be “in the best interests of a generation of young British people.”
