Johann Lamont’s best line ever at FMQs – and it wasn’t even accurate….

Sunshine and pandas. Is Summer really here at last?
So, I bunked off on Tuesday. I’d always half intended to, especially as it was a school holiday, and an opportunity to spend some time with Anna, but the fantastic weather meant that the laptop stayed firmly switched off and … Continue reading
