After two years of planning, Tory MPs are finally having their long-awaited away day today. Rishi Sunak and the whizz kids at CCHQ have booked a fleet of buses to whisk the members of his parliamentary party away to Windsor for a 24-hour away day. They’ll be put up in the luxury hotel where Sunak unveiled his ‘Windsor framework’, with even Boris Johnson reportedly set to attend. Talk about happy families eh…

On the agenda for today is an exciting range of talks, breakout sessions and even a jolly old pub quiz. Chats on political strategy and beating the Lib Dems are planned alongside sessions on ‘demonstrating delivery to your constituents’ and ‘maximising your social media profile.’ Presumably TikTok sat Luke Evans will be leading that one. After a hard day of political chin-stroking, this evening there are plans for Greg Hands to lead a pub quiz, followed by dinner, a mystery guest speaker and ‘after dinner drinks’ from ’22:45 – late.’

Mr S predicts some sore heads tomorrow…
