For context on how this looks internationally, here are the prices (across Europe) for the 6pm-7pm CET auction... ...i.e. 5pm-6pm UK time. (h/t @knott_richard for the idea)

Yes, the UK media’s coverage of Meghan Markle really is racist

Hadley in 2017, insisting it's totally wholesome for children to be entertained by men dressed as female parodies:
So, last week, the Daily Mail and the Sun ran political-correctness-gone-mad front pages about how the Church of England says little boys can wear tiaras and that a drag queen somewhere once read to some toddlers.

Truss apparently has an energy plan. What is more we are to hear about it today. It sounds expensive, because it will subsidise those who do not need support. But it will also, apparently, be funded by borrowing, and that is bizarre (to be polite). A thread….
