So with one raised eyebrow I note a Newsnight political journalist on a rival podcast telling a story about me borrowing (newly purchased, never worn before) underwear because of an unexpected overnight stay on the election campaign.
I remain grateful.
But given we are now in the business of disclosing parts of this story, in return I can reveal they were Y-fronts: and have a picture of them. This is what he had purchased. Remember this image when you next see him on telly.

@thecarolemalone You need to brush up on your understanding of the UK's constitutional arrangements before making a fool of yourself again. England has an established Church and he is in the HoL.
If you think not spending £150m on the #coronation means that money will be spent on your causes, you have not paid attention to this government, which delights in being cruel.
The issue is not the lack of money, it's that the government won't spent on those causes.
