First, I can't believe that isn't a quote from Alan Partridge

Secondly, LAD! The boy's done well there. I always like his dad. Clearly Mrs T didn't given where she stuck him

This is surely from a Tom Sharpe novel as well
“She may be what she calls estranged but she is the mother of my children,” Colonel Purbrick said yesterday from his farm beneath Mount West in the Mooi River region of Natal, South Africa. “I’m sorry she got herself into the ****. I hope she gets out of it.”

The judge imposed a two-year restraining order, saying that she had “real concerns about the defendant’s ability to make rational decisions”.

Have you ever read Simon Raven's Alms For Oblivion books? Well worth it. Thinly-veiled autobiographical portraits of - among others - Jim Prior, John Aspinall and Jacob Rees-Mogg's dad.

Rees-Mogg doesn't come out of the books particularly well, it must be said. Prior does.

I haven't - shall look it up. Cheers

It's its own soap opera. Eastenders would be proud.

Oh, I thought the former army officer brother shooting himself was absolutely in keeping with the whole tableau.
