Something for the weekend …
MPs may be seeing more of the number of the beast, or rather blurring lights, as Iron Maiden’s specialist ale has been stocked in the House of Commons’ drinking hole.

MPs could listen to the demonic riffs of Black Sabbath to get motivated, drink bat’s blood to reinvigorate their health and maybe even introduce a Harley Davidson-to-work scheme.
Or maybe not…
