BBCPolitics Wtf was he doing there when we’re all in lockdown?

sunning himself why we face the shit storm he helped put us in.

Condolences to his family and friends. May he RIP

Anyway, what's for breakfast?

Another really sad news item but I don't know him People around me die of various but not in news

Oh dear.

says everything about Brexiteers that he lived in the Bahamas.

Yet another green shoot of spring!

As a diver myself this is both terrifying yet somewhat comforting, in a way only hardcore divers can rationalize. My condolences to his loved ones. RIP.

He lived a good life. Living in the Bahamas while getting his salary from the UK. Lovely.

I'm surprised at how many Brexiteers live in Bahamas. And France.

Such a tragic loss of such a great guy - our thoughts are with his family with whom we shared such fond memories. Beyond words....

BBCPolitics He didn't inherit Nigel Farage's Nine Lives then? RIP

All the BeKind mob in the comments.

And?

Oh well

*near his home in the Bahamas* How the hell did he get to represent the UK if he wasn't even resident here? Our Electoral Commission is a proverbial chocolate teapot.

that is awful for his family ,my condolences ...but this must be old news right ? aren't we all subject to the travelban

Bobby and I had a number of chats here on Twitter, and whilst he was always wrong, he was wrong in a polite and friendly way. It is always sad when a father dies so young and I wish his family all the best.

Disband the BBC BuildBackBetter

A reminder: in July 2019, former Brexit MEP Robert Rowland posted on Twitter that Britain should sink foreign fishing vessels - civilian vessels - in British territorial waters (1/2)

Sad to hear of any death. And I ask this without malice: did he die within 28 days of a positive covid test.

Yet another brexity multimillioniare that doesn't live in the UK.....

BBCPolitics Do normal people actually think what they tweet? Some of these tweets are vile. I sincerely hope that some sense of shame will result in those that posted them will delete them.

Brexit MEP yet 'Home in the Bahamas'... Jesus wept

DemopJ

I'm struggling to see what the hububs about.

Rip
