Marvellous.

Any suggestions as to which ancient laws of the constitution should be restored first?

I’ll open with Magna Carta 1215, Chapter 31:

“No royal official will take wood for our castle, or for any other purpose, without the consent of the owner.”

I wonder what Liz Truss imagines "the ancient laws of the British constitution" to be.

This is a great read
This just drifted across my timeline again. If you fancy a long, fun, absolutely batshit read about a truly astonishing life, tuck in.

Caution: contains swashbuckling.
Just for fun, let me tell you about somebody you've probably never heard of, but who was once one of the most famous people in England, a national hero, a disgraced fraudster, and an astonishingly accomplished piratical maniac.

He led quite a life. (1/53)
