Let's get the newsquiz done!

The top solo scorer in last week’s news quiz was Hilary Scott with 21, narrowly ahead of Andy Reed with 20.5, Tom Savage on 20 and Janet Boyle and Damon Wake who both scored 19.5. The top teams were Bruce and Sarah Hayward with 20, the same score as my Three Legs drinking pals Bryan and Les with a personal best (they had obviously been glued to the election coverage). Adam Batstone and Lucy Thorpe scored 19.5. Here is this week’s quiz. As usual there are 25 questions about the week’s events. Give it a go and let me know how you get on.
