Fellow Wine Lovers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re back, are you? We\u2019re fuelled with turkey, mince pies and a selection of strange liqueurs from the back of the cocktail cabinet. We\u2019ve drunk some lovely wine, a pint in a village pub and even several cups of coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To round up briefly on the year, we opened our commentary in January talking about Nadhim Zahawi\u2019s brass neck. We wonder what happened to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
February saw us witness a Cabinet reshuffle, Scotland beat England at Twickenham and Steak and Peppercorn Sauce was the most popular meal for Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
March floated in on a tide of Government ministers trying to get Gary Lineker sacked, Alex was full of alarming facts about dictators following his podcast discoveries and Tom Pidcock became the first Brit to win Le Strade Bianchi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
April brought us the London Marathon, a new album from Everything But The Girl and a resignation from Dominic Raab who said he\u2019d give us a slap if we said he was a bully, so we\u2019re definitely not suggesting that at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If it\u2019s May already then Wayne is cycling in Mallorca, Penny Mordaunt is starring as Lady of the Lake at the King\u2019s Coronation and Rishi Sunak is delivering on his promise to lose 1,000 councillors at the local elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
June arrived with suitcases of Saudi cash for golfers, World Gin Day and Nadine Dorries promising to resign after failing to receive an ermine gown, a promise finally delivered in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
July found a group of cyclists and buses meandering around France, some Ashes cricket matches and Wayne arriving late for a meeting due to over confidence in the Northern Line. Mad Nads was still Ermine hunting by sending WhatsApp\u2019s to ministers trying to get on Lettuce Liz\u2019s honours List.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
August found the roads of SW London empty, Nadine finally threw in the towel and Rishi rearranged the deck chairs on the Titanic. Although, he preferred to name it a \u2018mini\u2019 shuffle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
September found Wayne eating Pistachio ice cream, Michael O\u2019Leary received a cream pie to the face whilst speaking in Brussels and coastguards arrested a man for trying to cross the Atlantic in a human sized hamster wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
October saw Donald Trump fall off of the Forbes Rich List, Bernie Ecclestone pay \u00a3625 million to the HMRC and the Rolling Stones collaborating with Lady Gaga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
November arrived with an almost indecent haste with Nigel Farage in the jungle, a sad farewell to Oddbins and another rearrangement of deckchairs on the Cabinet cruise ship. Rishi still likes to call it a reshuffle. Not to be out done, Kier Starmer managed to do a bit of rearranging the Shadows too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
