PMQs Video

I'm sorry for the lack of PMQs this week; I just didn't have the patience to sit through it when I came home. On the plus side, I do have a rather lovely pair of earrings to show for today's venture and shopping beats PMQs hands-down any day of the week.

I'll add the usual 'toad/independent thinker' & 'topics raised' tomorrow when I'm feeling more kindly. It doesn't help that I've recently seen the House of Cards trilogy for the first time and it seems only too plausible. I don't know why I missed it first time round - I was probably out somewhere, being young.
