Yes, ex Prime Minister
Posted on Thu, 27 Jun 2024
Nice one Paul. Your coincidental things would all be funny if they weren't such a scarily accurate description of the awful reality. And Sunak's still got a week to go so there's a strong possibility you'll have enough material for episode...

The same wavelength
Posted on Sat, 22 Jun 2024
Thatcher was an awful woman but at least she knew what she was doing.
