Will David Cameron and Jeremy Clarkson soon be joined by Boris and Carrie in the Chipping Norton set? The pair is receiving assistance from Tory contributor and JCB millionaire Lord Bamford in finding a new property in Oxfordshire.
He and Lady Bamford have fed the Johnsons in Downing Street with food from their Daylesford store in addition to hosting their wedding celebration at their Cotswolds home.
Locals claim that the former prime minister is now looking at a home close to Chipping Norton under the direction of Bamford. Perhaps his lordship might lend Boris a JCB so he can continue with his Cincinnatus-like post-Downing Street ploughing!
Whitehall bureaucrats will now have to deal with classicalist Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, who they are pleased to see go after Latin-spouting Boris. He was a master of Latin poetry and was known to make obscene epigrams for his buddies. One of his friends quips, “His grasp of the lyric metres of Latin poetry is encyclopaedic, and would easily put any Oxbridge don to shame” (in English). Can we anticipate Kwasi’s poetic statement that the country’s bank account would soon be as full as Croesus’?
Jon Sopel, a former editor of the BBC in North America, recalled having to uncomfortably meet Liz Truss in Washington on the same day as England and Italy played in the 2017 Euro football final.
We’ve all had a few drinks when the British Embassy takes over a beer garden. She wanted to discuss commerce, and I wanted to talk football! Now, Sopel reflects on his podcast. However, he exposes the new PM as a fan of England soccer, saying: “She did remain and watch the full game and had painted on her arm an England flag.”
Following the death of Tory MP David Amess, Labour MP Jess Phillips confesses to having a soft place for former home secretary Priti Patel.
She would call me on a Sunday night to make sure the police were acting appropriately since the danger level posed to us had increased, the woman claims. But at first, she believed it to be a fake.
I just reasoned, “It’s not that Priti,” I didn’t want to call into some type of shock jock radio phone-in believing that I’m phoning Priti, Phillips said.
In a BBC 4 documentary shot before his passing, Mikhail Gorbachev may be seen showing off his singing abilities. He admits in Storyville, which will be on television the next week, “I used to sing while I was shaving.” ‘ [Wife] Since she listened to those tunes virtually daily, Raisa never closed the door. I would sing and shave in front of her. ‘ Russians: better or worse spouses?
