After the King’s College choir have sung their last, the holidays can truly begin. Merry Christmas! Peace and Goodwill to you and your family.
My first proper job was here! The start of a long journey

BREAKING NEWS: Governor Wes Moore announces support for beer and wine sales in Maryland grocery stores.

“In every corner of the state from Western Maryland to the Eastern Shore, this is an issue that people are asking about.”
As befits 'His Majesty's Government', this is a fascinating look at recent correspondence with the Palace - one that still relies on language familiar to Sir Edmund Blackadder
During her brief time in Downing Street, Liz Truss made 18 submissions to the King. Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, you can read them all on my blog. They provide a rare glimpse of the day-to-day relationship between No. 10 and Buckingham Palace.
Liz Truss’s submissions to the King released
On July 19, I made a Freedom of Information request to the Cabinet Office seeking every submission that Liz Truss sent to Buckingham Palace during her 49-day premiership. After a lengthy delay, the…
