so it was a weekend where elite sport continued because televised entertainment is 'essential;, but the police made sure children's clothes weren't to be sold in supermarkets because they're not 'essential' enough?

Says a lot about the scale of values at work in this country

Yesterday 10 armed police and a helicopter were called to a house in Kent after reports of a big cat on the loose.

Four white shirts I had intended to bring with me to South Africa - along with one red shirt. Thanks to Belarmine cleaners at Dublin’s Swan Centre, I ended up with four pink shirts and one red. Oh, and I’m a “prick” for suggesting they were white to start with. Just saying...

So she’s 42, started running 9 years ago, since had two kids - the eldest of whom is 9 by the way - works in IT and just qualified for the Olympics after finishing 7th in the London Marathon. Bloody hell Sinead Diver could you be any more inspiring? 🙌🏻 https://t.co/HKv1cOgK2D

One time I was at a car boot sale & a guy asked
“How much for the full length mirror?”
“£3” I said
“I’ll give you £1.50” he replied
“Ok” I said, I just wanted rid of it.
Then he asked
“Do you deliver?”
He was serious.
So I smashed it.
Smashed it to fuck & told him to fuck off

An elderly man held door for me & promptly apologised, saying maybe he shouldn’t in this day & age.
So I kissed him on the cheek & told him to continue to live dangerously 💋

[Parody Ken Clarke @MrKennethClarke]

I've been sat up in bed for hours, whisky on the bedside table, soft jazz playing in the background, trying to think if I've ever worked with a more idiotic bunch of self centred bastards in my nearly 50 years as a MP.

Nope, still can't think of any. Time for another bottle.
