I have found that if you start pronouncing PLP as "Plop" it makes political coverage considerably more enjoyable.
this scandal couldn’t have landed at a worse time for Starmer given the PLP was already manoeuvring against him

It's quite an achievement to have managed to resign in disgrace even more times than Boris Johnson.
Lord Forsyth of Drumlean, the Lord Speaker:
"I have decided to inform the House that the clerk of the Parliaments has today received notification from Lord Mandelson of his intention to retire from the House, effective from the 4th of February. I will formally notify this to the House tomorrow."

Hey! If you like late-Victorian and Edwardian ghost stories melded with a modern sensibility and want it at slightly more length than this, you'll probably want to pre-order my next novel, Hobbe's Folly, which is out in October:
