The taxi screeched abruptly to a halt, piercing the dark night with the echo of tyres on tar. A black cat darted in front of the car, yet only the fluorescent yellow lights could be seen; a bad omen for the night, thought the man.

Results Day!

(May 7th)

Darling, I'm on the train. Bercow held Buckingham (as he would do) with 48% (down from 58% last year though) and John Stevens in second place on 22%.

It wasn't really worth waiting til 2.30 for (PM!)

Churchill Museum and The War Cabinet Rooms
