that he very much overshadows all of the allegations about russian interference, whether it was the elections and i mean, the sabre rattling that is going on, the talk from moscow and a president who really wants to reconstitute the ussr, all of this is increasing his redlines all the time and what he defines as exercises on the border with the ukraine, i think of something that the west, whether it is the us or europe in the coming days would want to understand what his definition of exercise, military exercise is. eat his definition of exercise, military exercise is— his definition of exercise, military exercise is-_ his definition of exercise, military exercise is. . . . exercise is. eat porridge and cuddle u . exercise is. eat porridge and cuddle u- to exercise is. eat porridge and cuddle tip to avoid — exercise is. eat porridge and cuddle up to avoid heating _ exercise is. eat porridge and cuddle up to avoid heating bill. _ exercise is. eat porridge and cuddle up to avoid heating bill. and - exercise is. eat porridge and cuddle up to avoid heating bill. and this i up to avoid heating bill. and this sounds like a joke but at a time where people are really going to be struggling to pay their energy bills, this seems rather tasteless,

i think also the liberal democrats, but that is something that boris johnson doesn't seem inclined to do and it seems the government, although i was rather interested that we were told that the prime minister had met her sue neck yesterday and we were told that he is talking to him every day but the bills, thousand pounds more —— rishi sunak. and a pandemic that lasted two years, how much longer people point to put up with this? many people actually use their cars for the whole queen lobbyjumps to get to work. and taking public transport pending on where you live in all of this is very worrying and we are only the very beginning of the winter and we could have some really cool nights and our people with ditches to heat, to eat? and should
