Also, isn't it terrible how Nicola Sturgeon insists on being "clever" and how Kier Starmer runs rings around the Prime Minister in Parliament with his Barrister's attention to detail and mastery of his brief? Clever politicians, whatever next, still neither of them are a patch on Boris when it comes to the knockabout stuff are they!
