Of all the statements ever made by @Number10press this has got to be the crudest, cruelest and most lethal attack on a whistleblower, ever

Hard to pick a favourite line from a book bursting to the gills with amazing lines (see what I did there) but this paragraph is an easy second, just after “You brought balls on your first day?”

It’s not very often that I boss an entire book in one day but knock me sideways if FISH BOY by @ChloeDaykin isn’t the best book I’ve read this year. Absolutely loved loved loved this @FaberChildrens

Jacob Rees-Mogg's firm invested in a blacklisted Russian bank. Sberbank is subject to sanctions by the US and EU (Reg. 833/2014.) The sanctions are for bombing civilians in Syria, hacking elections, murdering people aboard holiday jets or on our streets is unacceptable.

It is being reported that the firm of Jacob Rees-Mogg manages nearly £100 million invested in Russia. I can't see much about it in the old mainstream media. Somehow I don't think they'd be so reluctant to report this if it was Jeremy Corbyn, rather than Rees-Mogg.
