Looked quite tidy too. Doesn't any more... 😢

Sounds like the driver is nearly as mangled as the car.

"In a separate incident, a motorist crashed into the gates of Sunak’s official country residence, Chequers, in Buckinghamshire, police said.

The incident took place shortly after midday on Tuesday when a white Volkswagen Scirocco hit the barriers at the entrance.

Sunak was not at the property at the time and was attending events linked to the Japanese state visit in London.

Thames Valley police said the driver, a 44-year-old man from the county, was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and drink-driving, and was the only person in the car.

A spokesperson added that the driver “suffered serious injuries” and was taken to hospital, “where he remains”.

“While we are still in the very early stages of our investigation, there is currently no evidence to suggest there was any intention to harm anyone,” the force said."

Not a great day, when someone piles into the gates of your country residence, and then four men break into the grounds of your constituency home to take a shit in your pond...

Such a shame a about the motor does look like it was quite clean. Let's not forget the human cost, hope the driver recovers well and next time runs the prick over.
