@KayeMac04 The claims made by Raab about Hugh Elliott's actions during these negotiations for Gibraltar's future relationship with EU are serious and have caused huge concern among Gibraltarians. It would be good if the Ambassador were to confirm publically whether or not there is any truth to them.

Among those murdered in the Holocaust were 20,000 Hungarian Jews, shot on the banks of the Danube, having been forced to remove their shoes. The shoes were deemed to hold value. Sculptor Gyula Pauer’s monument is composed of 60 pairs of shoes in iron. #HolocaustMemorialDay 

Johnson has trousered £1M in just over 6 weeks but the taxpayer gets the £220,000+? bill for his legal fees. Because that’s the ‘established precedent’. It’s also the ‘established precedent’ that ministers be sacked for serious breaches of the ministerial code. But they routinely ignore that one.

That aside though, in a country where so many cannot afford legal representation and legal aid has been cut to the bone, to have taxpayers forking out for Johnson’s legal fees, is beyond sickening.

@JohannaSaunders And what comes next? A woman is murdered but "she shouldn't have been out alone"? A racist attack is "their own fault for being black"? These people are vile. There is indeed something very, very wrong in the UK today.
