@PF New dog is 'Mimi'. Something totally different to the sound of any of the other dogs' names and easy for us both to remember. She was called Dimitra - so we're hoping there's a little bit of the same sound there. And to begin with we're linking the new name with her old name so she's getting cal...

Morning. Missed Priti Patel. A bit of a groggy start. Just heard Alan Johnson and wasn't impressed either. It is time for him and others to wake up and realise there *are* a lot of supposed Labour voters and supporters that aren't supporting Remain - just not good enough to try and waft it away. It ...
