In the UK this is all considered a matter for the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. In Italy the Guardia di Finanza would be crawling all over his financial affairs and antimafia magistrates would be closely following his activities. They would quickly wipe that smirk off his face.

Special mention this #FathersDay to my Father in Law who died last year aged 93. A fine Belfast man with endless stories and memories. I respected him as my F-I-L but he was also a good friend too who bizzarely was happy I met his youngest daughter and asked her to marry me an eternity ago🥲❤️.

Ee it's grand ☀️😎. Grateful to my fantastic family for being so kind this father's day. Great to drop in on me own old dad this morning who was on great form and was and is the best ❤️. A day to think on how I can be a better husband, son and dad myself. I'm so grateful.Cheers !🍺
