“Rishi Sunak has gone to see The King.” I’m still trying to process we have a King now, and we aren’t living in the monochrome world of the 1930s, are we?

That would be my action as PM, bring back Pathé. Ok, second, after putting Noel Edmunds in custody for crimes against humanity.

Does he want Edmunds locked up too? Good man.

I don't know about that (I'm sure he'd be amenable) but among his policies were bringing back Ceefax and nationalising Adele.

Looks like Starmer has brought back the cavaliers to be his bodyguard when meeting the public, so anything is possible.

In fact, that’s a great idea. Have brightly dressed fellas in feathered hats instead of guys in suits. Better Bodyguards For A Brighter Britain. There you go Sir Keir, there’s a freebie for you.

The Pope has fellas like that protecting him, and he's infallible apparently. So, yeah.

I’ve met The Pope, not the new one, JP2, as he was known on the street, and seen The Swiss Guards up close. Yeah, all that silly clothing couldn’t hide the assault rifles they were carrying.

Before you ask, my friend got married in Rome, and his bride managed to wangle a Papal blessing. I haven’t been concealing the fact I was the UK’s ambassador to The Holy See or something.
