It's hilarious. Apart from all the deaths and economic ruin and all that. STILL. Good material for the after dinner circuit.

He'll definitely wangle a book out of it.

I think he might just resign anyway if he's bored enough, and he can find another money spinner.

I don't think he'll be PM by the end of next year. The Tories are sharpening knives. But that doesn't necessarily make it any easier for them to lose an election. "Under New Management" is always a good sell.

9/5 at the time. It's now 3/1. I could win a breathtaking £56.

That'll pay for the decoration of an area of 5 square centimetres. Jackpot!

The Good Law Project has been granted a cost capping order to stop the government throwing millions of pounds of our money to defend the review of the PPE contract that went to cronies.

I'm no expert on this, but as I understand it this means that there is a chance that the government will lose, and in any case it will highlight the way that so many high profile legal cases are won or lost depending on how much money the defendants can afford to spend on fighting them. I'm thinking of the fight for women's pensions here, amongst others.

Not actually properly politics but I CANNOT get over wrinkly Blair with mad white mullet. Here.

I think it's my age. ( :)) ) He's locked in my head looking roughly like he did in his second term, just a bit tired and with silver temples. Not like Max at the end of Lost Boys when he goes full vamp. :mog:

It really was quite a surprise when I saw him on Lily’s Facebook post.

I saw it on Twitter and actually had to go look to make sure it wasn't some weirdy image manipulation emanating from the lost souls of Momentum. :))

The Electoral Commission is getting involved! Hopefully Boris Johnson will be the Al Capone of the 21st century.

I have to deliver a project early this afternoon, tell us if anything good happens, Bats.

Also, Boris Johnson is apparently notoriously tight-fisted and never stands a round. Such a key factor in sorting out good people from bad people, that.

He got himself in quite a lather about it didn't he.

Are there any photos of this redecoration?

Nearest you've got is a Stanard article from March about the designer.
