Comms for TikTok. Recovering Press Secretary. Evertonian. Colts fan. Joyful cynicist, according to my own colleagues.

Absolutely - I have a couple of sets of Qatar Airways ones that are now my regular pyjamas.

It is the same attitude that meant there was outrage when the PM got their own plane, and why Parliament will literally burn down before it gets renovated. The British establishment is so hair-shirted about their politics it’s actually making government worse.

The one and only time I’ve felt sympathy for Liz Truss was when it came out that she was still having to arrange her own hairdressers appointments. She was the PM - that’s obviously a job for someone else.

I once arrived at DCA 32 minutes before my flight and was at my gate 7 minutes later. The world’s most efficient airport.

If you have a corner kick and kick it directly into your own goal, the outcome will be a corner kick to the opposition.

Fun fact: You can’t score an own goal directly from your own corner kick - it would be a corner.
