The unauthorised building in the grounds of his daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore’s Bedfordshire home was ordered to be torn down by the local council and must now come down by 7 February.
The news prompted no end of very funny and totally on-point responses and we’ve read them all – well, quite a few of them – so you don’t have to and these surely said it best.

Goodbye Hannah’s spa
Though I didn’t use you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While all the appeals stalledThey came out of the woodwork
And whispered you weren’t a spa at all
You were a community space
But that was clearly balls https://t.co/Qp8WngA9iD— Transparent Mouse (@bfafleck) January 3, 2024
