We stayed in Toronto with a guy who had been my MiL's boyfriend way back and had since married an Indian lady. When we went out with her family they had to say we were cousins because it was the only way they could make it understandable in an Indian context ....

I can safely say that I have more culture in common with the sort of people they want to deport than I have with racist imbeciles like Lam and Frost.

I think Olivier is French? Basically we've got loads of odd royals hanging around Europe who would be delighted to freeload off you guys and sign anything, no matter how mad, into law.

From all the by-elections last Thursday I think LDs won 7, Reform 1, Tories 1, Independent 1. Is that right? And why aren't the BBC interviewing Davey every day?

We did "who, alive or dead, would you like to have coffee with?" on our team social the other week. I picked Emma because she rocks. I spent 10 minutes explaining who she was to my bemused American colleagues in excruciating detail. Quite killed the rest of the session to be honest.
