I applaud any time a British Prime Minister takes an active interest in the health of the nation

Boris has turned to a vegan diet to give him the extra energy to get through 20-hour days as he fights the crisis.

Carrie is said to have shouted “get off me” and “get out of my flat”.
Boris is reportedly heard loudly ordering his lover “get off my f***ing laptop”.
The row blew up when Boris spilt red wine on Carrie’s favourite sofa.

“To cut the number of taught hours by 35,000, the Government are letting down a generation who need to be taught the benefits of good physical and mental health.”
