So she didn't go on holiday in the campervan? Didn't get a lift or a driving lesson in any of the cars? The furniture wasn't in her house? The garden stuff and tools weren't in her garden or garage? She didn't watch the Borgen DVDs? The pendant wasn't round her neck?

The only reason Offord remains is that the horrendous gag appeals directly to the scum that vote for him and #Reform It's exactly how they see men like me It's totally on brand George Michael was an icon - neither Offord nor any of Reform are fit to shine his shoes www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
