1. Poor Henry

2. Celebrate ???

3. Sounds fun

4. ? Never ever have I ever felt so low ?

5. Democracy

6. We wish the letter was comedy sized too

7. Tim is such a madman

8. Article 50 letter relay?

9. Very timely

10. Is this how you trigger Article 50?

11. Preparation

12. I feel more triggered than Article 50
