Why not just say well done to someone who will most likely be a cracking MP? Has he even seen who's been elected - it's so weird.
Some beans and some weird flat Yorkshire pudding like thing on a plate

Glandular fever - he's been very ill but home now thank goodness.
My mother died this week. Iβm not posting this for sympathy, although thank you. But I realised I was so extremely grateful for people who showed small kindnesses this week. People who let me out while I was driving to her deathbed. People who smiled when I got stuck at the self service supermarket.
I'm very sorry about your mum. My son was in hospital this week and it's so true - the only thing cutting through the fog were the small moments of kindness.
This happened to a car on our street and it was teenage lads for larks.
Can't understand that. I had a crush on Heathcliff from the age of about 12.
This is the most devastating interview and she is an extraordinary MP

Don't remember Lily Allen singing about this

Their supporters know what they are told is untrue, they do not care it is untrue.
Telling the truth is not enough, unless people care about the truth.
