The Langham family own the dock where this boat is moored, they donated £70,000 to Nigel Farage’s UKIP.
Now they are earning £4,000 a day simply to let this boat moor in their harbour.
£1,500,000 a year, of your money just to moor this monstrosity.

This is so cruel & I'm tempted to despair but I don't want to. @Conservatives how can you be so cruel to this man & his family? This isn't right. Think about his son. And it makes me so angry that you do not treat people equitably. This is not just or fair & hurts a young boy.

Rhodes is burning...What really matters is not that a Tourist playground burns, its the animals burned, wildlife lost and Nature destroyed...but out headlines talk of cancelled flights and holidays. If we think this is inconvenient..you wait to see the inconvenience of climate refugees, lack of food and water....floods, droughts and war....but lets just carry on leave that to our kids to deal with.

Having one of those days when I wonder what the point of being a British, as opposed to Irish or American, novelist is. To read some literary pages, you’d think we don’t exist….

How can anyone vote Tory at the next GE? Inflation remains high. Record Government debt. The economy is flatlining & barely avoiding recession. Growth is the lowest of all G7 countries. The Rwanda plan is illegal & we’ve record high NHS waiting lists.🤷♂️ theguardian.com/politics/liv…

If you ask people about the books that changed their lives - the ones they will never, ever forget, and carry around deep inside their hearts & minds - almost always, they will talk about a children's book. And that is why children's books are the most important books of all!
