The old British motorcycle company Brough has been revived. Their new model is called the Brough Superior Lawrence in honour of TE Lawrence who rode a Brough Superior and was famously not revived afterwards. Spiffing work chaps.

I hate politicians who don't stick by their principles. Especially all those cowards who stopped boycotting South Africa just because Apartheid ended.

Don't get complacent. If Sunak resigns in the next half hour they could bring back Truss and regain the support of the electorate.
