I'm so naive and unsophisticated about current pop music that my grown-up children were unsurprised when I claimed not to know who Beyonce was. But ask me about obscure performances of the Bach cello suites....

I think Oswaldo's son might have competition from Larry the Cat, the resident feline at 10 Downing Street. I believe he has been there longer than 4 or 5 of the PMs. There are also some good questions about whether LtC's sense of duty, and foreign intelligence exceeds that of the current PM.

It behooves me to protect him from Suella Braverman.

I think Jason's wife would slap him upside the head and then wipe the floor with Britney.
