Glimfeather was a politically savvy talking owl who helped Eustace Scrubb and Jill Pole in their quest to find Prince Rilian in Lewis Carroll’s ‘The Silver Chair’.

I asked the owl how parliament was going and if it had any thoughts on our own political shenanigans but it only looked at me then looked away.

Either this was not Glimfeather or he’s as speechless as the rest of us.
