So, I think it now goes:
Jenrick = £ shop Farage
Farage = £ shop Powell
Powell = £ shop Moseley
Moseley = £ shop Hitler

Which by my calculations makes Robert Jenrick worth 0.0001 Fascist Pence. (Or Pfennigs, not quite sure.)

No news listening on way to work for reasons. Trying not to visibly enjoy comedy podcast for fear of recriminations, luckily I'm listening to Richard Herring

"Like what?"

Everything seems so expensive these days – but how much should you pay for that bottle of wine, or pair of jeans? A panel of experts explains how to make good choices – and when you’re being fleeced
