I saw a wonderful spoof Nadine tweet the other day as she stepped off the plane in Saudi with a big grin.

The tweet went along the lines of, as the British secretary for culture and media I am delighted to be in Saudi Arabia and I am really looking forward to playing bingo when I visit Mecca. :grin:

The sad thing is whilst its parody its also believable because she is spectacularly stupid

If this true its about 2 or 3 years too late, she has been dreadful. The next leader needs to come from outside the Met.

(In my best saccharine-drenched oldies DJ voice...) And this one's going out to a special little guy, who's really feeling the loss tonight, because he's missing his best friend, Cressida. Here are Hall and Oates with "She's Gone," and this one is going out to Boris, from his special friend, Nadine.

Gotta love Hall & Oates, from my perspective they didn't get the acclaim they should have got. They penned some classic songs but "blue eyed soul" is always open to skepticism from certain quarters

He is finally toast but will cling on until he is eventually kicked into touch to his greater shame and humiliation as well as the detriment of his party. Lies (Brexit) were responsible for his rise so it is fitting that lies are responsible for his fall.
