Another punt for a new Commons Library research briefing which attempts to capture all the functions of the contemporary office of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom: commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-brief…

The new decorative feature gracing our homes not just on bin day. It looks a plastic mess
