squeaky

The matter was even raised in parliament in March, with Wendy Morton, Conservative MP for nearby Alridge-Brownhills, saying the "squeaky blinders" were not welcome in her constituency.

On Tuesday, Russo told The Times she was elated by the news, describing herself as “a squeaky wheel” who wouldn’t let the issue be forgotten.

"The rats, the squeaky blinders, do continue to roam freely in the streets of Britain's second city," she said.

Be careful when cooking it: halloumi is naturally “squeaky,” but if overcooked, it can veer into rubbery territory.

This language was echoed by local Labour MP Preet Gill, who said she feared a "public health emergency", while Tory MP Wendy Morton said "squeaky blinders rats" could invade her nearby constituency.
