Heseltine did not swing the mace like a club, or toss it like a caber. He picked it up from its stand and, with mock generos­ i ty , offered it to the Labour Front Bench, who he believed had cheated in a division.

STRICTLY speaking. Big Ben is the clock, not the tower in which it is situated. But everyone talks about “going up Bi^ Ben” and up Big Ben went in pursuit of St Mary’s Cub Scouts, who were on a trip to London.
