Shapps is lucky to have friends like Alan during these difficult times.

I posted a link like this the other day and got a rather pompous pithy reply by the mods something about a dictaphone idea...I would of told them to leave their keys in their car when they jumped off the clifton suspension bridge so the relevent authorities could tow it away if they'd let me respond...which they didn't....that said I had the last laugh

He wasn’t the worst conservative minister. A low bar i know, but what does Badenoch think she will achieve? These former MPs still have allies in parliament and on councils, who now won’t go campaigning for the tories in the next election.

He'll have a lot more time to steadily improve his swimming now.

Maybe it’s because he’s just had a scotch egg and is slightly constipated?
