.@PennyMordaunt‘s bizarre & unprompted tribute speech to the PM last week left many questions… Like a Traitor at the Round-table desperately trying to convince she was a Faithful… While the “evil plotters” plan their next kill. But it’s not a TV show, it’s real life, & we can't switch off...

One of the few holiday cottage companies not offering customers refunds for holidays they now are prohibited from taking @Hoseasons . They haven’t even paid the cottage owners either. Give customers full refunds like everyone else please.
