Friends (stylised as F·R·I·E·N·D·S^[1]) is a fictional column in The Sunday Telegraph^[2] written by journalist Judith Woods in the style of a scene from the eponymous TV series that depicts relationships within the UK coalition government led by David Cameron and Nick Clegg: the first episode begins in an Espresso bar near the Houses of Parliament called “Westminster Perk” and is a humorous satire of the new informality at the apex of British politics.^[3]
