Lloyd Evans

I’m lonely but the Loneliness Minister won’t take my calls

Lloyd Evans 20 June 2018 16:28

Lloyd Evans 13 June 2018 16:32

Labour’s obesity crisis

Lloyd Evans 23 May 2018 16:29

Jeremy Corbyn’s PMQs capitulation

Lloyd Evans 2 May 2018 16:20

Lloyd Evans 18 April 2018 16:42

Quentin Letts isn’t racist – our theatrical culture, which hands out jobs on the basis of racial profiling, is

Lloyd Evans 9 April 2018 18:36

May’s PMQs attitude should worry Corbyn

Lloyd Evans 28 March 2018 17:07

Jeremy Corbyn shows why he shouldn’t stick to the script at PMQs

Lloyd Evans 21 March 2018 16:15

Brexit is going well, apparently. And the prime minister seemed in chipper mood at PMQs. She was even enjoying herself.…

John Bercow was curiously quiet at PMQs

Lloyd Evans 14 March 2018 16:37

Lloyd Evans 7 March 2018 16:54

Jezza was on spectacularly dreary form at PMQs. He droned through a communique about International Women’s Day which made the…
