Hard work in the gloom at Chevening where @borisjohnsonmp.bsky.social skipped COBRA meetings in the pandemic to write his divorce papers. Still, mustn't grumble; got the memorial to Frederica, wife of Napoleonic war hero James Stanhope, whose family bequeathed the estate to a grateful ruling class.
