She has had to withstand a lot of criticism and has coped well,  she probably meets a lot of rich people/millionaires and there are plenty of Labour ones so if she has one as a friend why not.


The pandemic and furlough emptied the Treasury,  there hasn't really been a honeymoon period, to regain popularity Reeves will have to lift the doom and gloom.

In Latino exile communities across the country, a question is being asked: is Kamala Harris really a communist?
The vice-president has been the subject of numerous misleading claims that she is a socialist or communist since becoming the Democratic candidate for president, according to the US’s largest Spanish-language fact-checker Factchequeado.
Experts say these claims capitalise on genuine fears held by some voters who fled repression in countries like Cuba and Venezuela.
In one viral video, Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz appear to pose for a selfie in front of a sign for Revolutionary Communists of America, a far-left group.
The video is fake. The background was doctored by a group of Donald Trump’s supporters known as the Dilley Meme Team.
Their original post had more than 420,000 views, but it was shared by many Spanish accounts - and repeated offline.




She looks a bit manic in that picture!

    I feel so sorry for the civilians who have had their lives disrupted and who don't have or want anything to do with Hezbollah.

    Sir Keir on the phone:  'If you let the sausages go now, that will be the end of it.  I will; not look for you,  I will not pursue you;  But if you don't,  I will look for you,  I will find you,  and I will cut your winter fuel payments.

    Well,  if he isn't dead he'd be wise to'stay dead',  smoke rising doesn't prove anything.
