We need to seriously stop trying to score political points when there is a crisis unfolding. By all means challenge but we need to be above this. Do what is right by the British people and our Armed Forces. We are better than this. The division demonstrated does nothing other

MORE CENSORSHIP FROM F1??? In today’s sprint qualifying session, we were temporarily onboard with Kimi Antonelli, where you could see his speed down the back straight 👀 And his speed just… didn’t change? (SWIPE)
