While Angela Rayner’s spokesman has recently denied embarrassing reports that she got drunk in Parliament’s Foreigners’ Bar – describing the stories as mere “naughtiness” – her party comrades still can’t help but blurt out her strong electoral choice.
I remembered that “Red Queen” Rayner had long enjoyed serving her famous Venom cocktails, consisting of vodka, Southern Comfort, Blue WKD, and orange juice, to her friends. Those killed so far include a Labor Party councilor who was found curled up in the former Deputy Prime Minister’s dog basket.
Chalk it up to another diplomatic victory!
Queen Camilla’s decision to present a baby Roo toy (the absent kangaroo character, joining the rest of the original Winnie-the-Pooh toys on display in the American city) to the New York Public Library was more diplomatic than initially thought.
I remembered that Pooh, Piglet and co, originally owned by British creators AAMilne, caused a transatlantic row 30 years ago following calls in the House of Commons for British characters to return home from their “foreign” exile. This even led to the intervention of then-New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani; He also insisted that they stay there.
Her Majesty learned that the original Roo toy had never crossed the Atlantic and was eaten by Milne’s dog in East Sussex.

get back on the road
Sir Michael Palin, who celebrates his 83rd birthday this week, recently returned from filming his latest travel series in the Philippines.
Palin, who has also won praise for his role as eccentric retiree Brian Sleep in the BBC comedy Small Prophets, now gleefully says: “I’m never quite sure whether I’m a traveling actor or a traveling traveler acting, but when the two happen at the same time I realize the two aren’t that different.”
As well as currently writing about his Philippines adventures, workaholic Michael will be back on the road in the coming days flogging another book about his previous TV trip to Nigeria. Noting her relentless promotional efforts, Monty Python colleagues have long joked that “unsigned” Palin books have become rare!
I wish you success in your future life.
“They are creatures that stir something deep within us, something ancient and instinctive!” roars Brian Blessed, who supports ongoing efforts to protect African Lions.
The delightfully manic 89-year-old Brian is truly dedicated to this cause: he also hopes to be reincarnated as a “big, sexy lion” in his next life.
Can you believe this?
Property presenter Kirstie Allsopp recalls when her co-host of 26 years, Phil Spencer, initially opted for a flamboyant rival when he started the business.
Remembering her screen test for Location, Location, Location, Kirstie insists: “There was this Italian girl with legs up to here…Phil really, really wanted her. But the problem was her accent was too strong. By default she went with me.”
