More of the Dickensian undertaker’s bizarre musings coming out, and they’re absolute gold. The latest one advises you to write to your MP if your unnecessarily powerful hoover from Korea explodes in your face because it has no safely requirements. pic.twitter.com/pDpsLaKaCB

Voters: “The cost of living is going up and my wages aren’t”

I’m guessing he’s planning to move all of the Dartford Tunnel emergency exits up or down a few feet, at vast expense and causing years of disruption, so they are round numbers apart in yards…
RATHER THAN WRITE THE FUCKING SIGNS IN METRES!

Last word to @rachaelvenables.
Delighted to see the Dartford Tunnel is trending thanks to my interview with Jacob Rees-Mogg.
I asked him about the EU rules he most wants to scrap.
He talked about the "very funny numbers" in the Tunnel. https://t.co/LbBiDkZHRa
