I suspect Liz is absolutely delighted to escape to S.E Asia for a few days to avoid the sh*t storm going on in Parliament at the moment. An easy call for her. Just promise lots of financial help that will all come to nothing as it always does. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
