The #UK's #Starmer demoted the ridiculous #DavidLammy from #ForeignSecretary to #JusticeSecretary. So Lammy lost use of #Chevening, the Foreign Secretary’s country residence in Kent.

But he still gets to live in the Foreign Secretary's London house, 'cos his successor #YvetteCooper doesn't want to live there. The Brits formally call it a "grace-and-favour home", but #SnoutsInTrough is more descriptive.
