Lit the stove in the living room about half an hour ago.

No, @financialtimes.com, as your sub-head states - quite clearly -

This is the exact point where all the Mr Sensible "he can't do that" commentary bangs headfirst into the "well, ok, but who is actually going to stop him?" reality.

A clue here: it does not look like Congress is the answer to this question.

Just scooted up to the High Road to drop off an Evri parcel, which involves passing (safely on the other side of the road) the local Spoons.

Resembles nothing less than a Dignitas centre for Reform voters.
