"I was in bad shape" so I drove 260 miles.
Fucking hell, someone take this man's license.
Just catching up . Does it get any better than this? This is excellent.He went to Barnard Castle to test if he could drive.
She's from Class War isn't she?Brilliant point on BBC from a lecturer from Durham University, Lisa McKenzie, saying it's no great surprise that an elite rich man does what he wants, and why aren't the press covering the millions of working class people who are struggling and will struggle to cope with rent and bills through this crisis
In my day, the test was 'can you read a number plate at 15 yards?'. Nowadays, seems to me can you drive family members on an hour long drive with no more than a 15 minute rest by the river.Presumably the DVLA are on the case.
Visual field defects and driving
You can be fined up to £1,000 if you don’t tell DVLA about a medical condition that affects your driving. You may be prosecuted if you’re involved in an accident as a result.
Car or motorbike licence
You must tell DVLA if you have a visual field defect.
Report your condition online
You can also fill in form V1 and send it to DVLA. The address is on the form.

No ideaShe's from Class War isn't she?
Definitely was a Lisa McKenzie who became an academic but thought she was in London.No idea
ETA Google says yes
Or, give it a day and see if it improves.
It was also pointed out by Carole Cadwalladr that it was his wife's birthday when they spent the day at the castle, they probably had a day out with family for Easter and her birthday.As somebody said, this was a pure retrofit. I suspect 90%+ of the facts/dates and timings were true, but the motivation he announced for each decision was universally untrue. There are bits that could unravel, particularly if it turns out his wife can drive or that his usual childcare in London was available. But ultimately this was an awful but effective strategy.
Oh, sorry, the other bit was weak as piss and might have interesting consequences was where he said he'd spoke to johnson but they were both too far gone to remember it. There's clearly more to pick at there.
what was all the honking noise when the appearance started?
