Ms Butler must be a brainwashed idiot. Sorry to call names.

Dawn Butler is a gift who keeps on giving. She is in a very safe seat and on what is sometimes referred to as the Loonie Left.

Michelle,

Helen Dale has a pretty good Substack on the PEP legislation and its expansion into the current time: https://substack.com/inbox/post/135563246

Thank you for pointing me in this direction.

The latest -- Farage is probably going to have his accounts back at Coutts. (in talks)

Wow! Another great job, Michelle. I had to read almost every article. I can't get over Sir Starmer recognizing what a woman is. M. Rose and Butler? Not so much. I liked the way You put it. They show "why Gender Ideology adopted the ‘no debate’ stance." Indeed.

I can't get over the whole Nigel Farage event. I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing goes on over here. You'd just never hear about it, is the difference. I liked what he said, "It is clear that nobody has been speaking up for everyday people." Too true.

I can't thank You enough, Ma'am. Always look forward to Fridays.

Thank you.

A lot of activists in Labour are unhappy at the move. Labour Students demonstrated that they do not read the Law Reports. <eyeroll> https://twitter.com/charilaou_alex/status/1684598307849445377/photo/1

The Dawkins article was head and shoulder above the Rose one imho.

The Nigel Farage thing is somewhat unbelievable. NatWest should have known that Farage was a showman and knows how to amplify his message. I notice that Gina Miller who started a political party on the the left is complaining of being de-banked. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/07/28/gina-millers-political-party-bank-account-to-be-shut-monzo/ or https://archive.is/JH466 Apparently they don't allow for political parties to bank with them. Fair enough but why open the account in the first place?

I am certain the same sort of thing goes on in the US. ESG is a US export.

And not an export to be proud of

And this interesting titbit from Vince Cable of Liberal Democrats -- he was business secretary under Cameron's coalition government. He knows a thing or three about Nat West. https://www.express.co.uk/comment/expresscomment/1795683/natwest-farage-banks-liberal-democrats-comment

Nice catch, Michelle.

"Now, as with other banks, depositors are concerned at the delays in passing on higher interest rates to savers.

"With all that, how on earth did the managers find time to wage their political campaign against Mr Farage?"

And TY for tweet and article below. TY. (And hope writing continues to go well, of course. :-)
