development appears to be, he runs a insurance businesses, that he used the stuff in his businesses for the campaign. if that is true — we do not know that — we have the big apple about what we say, but that should have been declared under the law during the referendum. allegedly. it does strike me that he's going on the andrew martin show tomorrow were presumably he will deny it all. —— if i was him i would keep my head down. not if you want to be known as the bad boy of brexit. britain's version of stephen bannon who talks all the time and bates the press. from a journalistic
