Dear Larry, I'm gravely concerned about the shrinkfelination of cat food pouches, which have all been reduced from 100g to 85g. Please raise this issue in Parliament by asking a Purrgent Question. We must purrtest! Give us back our 15g!
Yours caternally, Zorro

I'm going to track down as many of you as I can. Please could people repost me, so others can see I am here - and I can find them, and them me. Blue skies, herds of unicorns and sunlit uplands beckon. Oh...and another two Tory candidates bite the dust, I understand 👍👍👍
