“You can be the first to contribute to his retirement fund” is particularly grotesque considering Paul’s mother #DaphneCaruanaGalizia had her bank account frozen, riddled with abusive defamation suits for her journalism just prior to her assassination - never reaching retirement.

Disgusting threat by

’s Director of Communications (on behalf of Boris Johnson) against

for his public interest reporting. Full solidarity with Paul - and we’ll be keeping a close eye on this.

Harri said that there’s no public interest in “who someone got on a flight with”, adding that this is really “a voyeuristic obsession with [Johnson’s] sex life.” But he was the Foreign Secretary… “So what?”
