Ok now that Lineker and the BBC have sorted out their differences, can we talk about the Government’s new Immigration Bill which is reminiscent of the laws of 1930s Germany?

Yeah, that just about sums it up.

I’m struggling to think what the connection could possibly be between all those other people that doesn’t apply to Lineker. 🤔

In most normal worlds, if you’ve made an absolute holy show of yourself, you go quietly off and hope no one ever mentions you again. But it seems if you’re an ex Tory PM, you resurface almost immediately and strut about as if people want to hear from you again.
We really don’t.

I still remember the time I carelessly set up an offshore trust in Gibraltar, carelessly hid an undeclared approx £27m in it, then carelessly got my legal team to abuse libel laws to intimidate journalists digging into it.

Cut the man some slack. We've all done it. Carelessly

Not a great week for dogs in our house. First Jonty died last Friday and ¡Hola! is currently on a drip in dog hospital having stolen 160g of chocolate from a Christmas present pile on a high table. Please keep your fingers crossed for her. Please also keep chocolate out of reach of your hounds. It's toxic for them. #dogsandchocolate #dogsandchocolatedontmix #pancreasdamage

Today was 'putting the citruses to bed' day. Six oranges, finger limes and Meyer lemons are now in the greenhouse, three more large lemons have been sewn into hessian. I've also wrapped the trunks of all the young trees in the orchard-to-be against sun scald. This isn't good for the trees as the sun warms up the bark and tricks the tree into thinking it should come out of dormancy, only to be followed by extreme frosts. #wintergarden #citruses #treeprotection #sunscald

Happy to find last night’s frost failed to reduce all the physalis to mush. Rescued some carrots from the thieving rabbits too. #physalis #carrots #homegrownfromseed #organic #mygarden

We’ve been away from home for a few days & meanwhile one of our latest Marans hens has started laying. I was sure they’d all decided to wait for the longer days of spring. Thank you Maya or Rosa. #maranseggs #breakfast
