“The self-awareness of a toilet seat” could apply to every one of Johnson’s cosy circle of saboteurs, not just the grandiose Frost whose skills as a negotiator rival those of a toad…

The OBR places its report on an unpublished URL which is not unusual in such circumstances

The mistake was using an almost matching URL to previous reports which to anyone curious enough, would be easy to find

It can & does happen in many organisations, but only once 🤔

Can't help wondering how Goldman et al justify or explain away the West Indian plantations & the countless unmarked graveyards..

Or the Mau Mau uprising in Kenya, the concentration camps & unrelenting torture..

Or etc etc ...

A few bad apples perhaps?

Many thanks Elizabeth.

Although it was a long time ago, they always end up spending a lifetime with you and we wouldn't be without them either 😉

So Witkoff is just offering advice and guidance to the Russian terrorist; but the FBI needs to investigate Senator Mark Kelly for upholding the Constitution, right? 🙄

Excellent I wish you luck 🤞.

After all the hard work, the wandering ways of our feline urchin were her undoing sadly when she ventured across the road once too often

The Westminster school yard erupting in cheers and jeers

No respect for the Chancellor and in particular us, the public who will either benefit or suffer from the consequences, not these baying clowns

Casper inside could be v traumatic for him esp given he took off when you appeared on the balcony. He seems to do ok foraging alone if he only turns up sporadically

Special, sewn-on cloth emblems & "work camps" perhaps?

Leopards & spots...
