That’s right, the person second in line to be our Head-of-State has announced his engagement. Image: BBC News Now, I’m very happy for the couple involved but I do have a number …

It’s a hung parliament. You already knew that of course. I’ve not slept very much. You may not already know – or indeed care about – that. Anyway.
