He looks like someone has slightly inflated Terry Wogan with a bicycle pump.

I'm not religious but I've realised I have faith that the state of the world will improve.

And it IS faith, because I have no logical reason to suppose it's true.

I'm not saying Katya's a Russian princess, but she bought some caviar and DROPPED SOME ON THE FLOOR.

Two little orange caviar eggs on the floor.

I wonder what other emotions they might display.

While my guitar smugly smirks.

While my guitar hysterically laughs.

While my guitar primarily screams.

Journalists: someone please ask Robert Jenrick whether he thinks there are too many Nigerians in Britain. Preferably while Kemi Badenoch is there as well. Go on. You know you want to.
