Was feeling pretty good until I popped on a stripey cardi and she cried with added enthusiasm 'Ohh MUMMY you a ZEBRA!!' tamsin_smith This never ends!

BBC Question Time: Fury as young activist Tom Harwood ONLY Brexiteer on panel yet againTOM HARWOOD, the young Brexit activist, was left defending the UK exiting the EU on his own on BBC Question Time, as producers once again only selected one Leave representative.

I’m not sure why he’d agree to being on QT as it’s just of remainer bit*hes that will talk over you! Suggestion to Brexit Supporters, avoid the corrupt and bias pledge that is MSM.
