Ergo, don't do the thing in the first place. I'm quite sure photo analysts could determine where it was taken - probably within a metre. To my untutored eyes, it doesn't seem to have the flattened depth you get with extreme telephoto lenses.

My point was about ineptitude. Don't do things that would embarrass if they make the front pages and, if you still determine to do them, make sure there are no witnesses - including cameras.

It appears that no-one asked the question: "What would happen if this was printed on the front pages?" The answer to which is unfolding.

I'm convinced. Dominic Raab, the justice secretary and deputy prime minister, has been on the airwaves for the governmen this morning and, on the Downing Street picture, he stuck to the line that it was a work gathering – although he also road-tested the novel argument that it could not have...

If anyone says anything against Liz Truss, don't believe it, iT'z sLurs.

Let's see how it plays out... Boris Johnson and staff pictured with wine in Downing Street garden in May 2020 Exclusive: photograph raises fresh questions for No 10 after denial of a social event at time of Covid restrictions...

I note: The UK health minister, Savid Javid, also came under pressure on Sky News to say whether the government would implement stronger restrictions, in line with what experts have been recommending. Parliament would be recalled if this was necessary, he said. Can anyone else see the...

May I join? I must have something in common with any group that ejects Nadie Dorries. EXC - big row in a Tory Whatsapp “Clean Global Brexit” group with over 100 MPs It leads leads to removal of Nadine Dorries after she defending the PM … and then Steve Baker declaring “enough is enough”

I liked Sobranie Black Russian - and Cocktail. In limited numbers! The Balkan were too much, as were Sullivan Powell's No. 1 Turkish. And Carroll's High Kings.

With all the red lights flashing at the state of the UK’s democracy, I’ve seen it said we shouldn’t assume the next general election will even happen. The issue, though, isn’t whether an election will happen (it will). It’s whether it will be free and fair (it won’t).

Some strange things happen: SCOOPLET: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is one of the most prominent anti-vaxxers in the country. But an invite to a party last week at his house in California urged people to be tested or get vaccinated beforehand (!). https://politico.com/newsletters/pl

The 99 tory anti-anti-covid measures rebels will be blowing their fuses: Ministers reportedly considering Omicron ‘circuit breaker’ in England Post-Christmas measures could include ban on mixing indoors except for work, with outdoor service only at pubs and restaurants

That is about how I felt. Since around then, very rarely has it had the slightest appeal. Though the odd time I get a feeling of smoking in a dream-like experience. When that happens, I only seems to recall or invent the nicer sides - some of the more attractive smells.

When we gave up (both at the same time - give or take a few days), we found the smell of smoke extremely disturbing - for years. We'd individually find ourselves smelling smoke, sometimes tobacco, sometimes "electrical", diesel, bonfire or other flavours. It took years for us to really...

I would have suggested this (below) but it suggests that he has the ability to choose Yes or No - which very much appears not to be the case.

Not meant as a point-scoring, smug, response. But when I gave up, I cut down, then stopped. Had a few, maybe half a dozen, over the next week or two - then never again. I really don't think I could have kept going for that first year had I gone down the vaping route. (Not that it was available...

Poor sod. Was that related to anything else - or just one of those things?
