Rees Mogg shoe looks a bit like one.Morland could have positioned one where the ceremonial mace lies, but that might have been too risqué for The Times.

Gavin Williamson has no comment to make!Does anybody near the top of the NAO have a peerage or knighthood pending?
Its an opinion piece, TBF. Rent a head Warner's job is to look exceedingly rural-white, 50sth, and saying "Its time for less spending, less government!".Oh dear - Telegraph is reporting we are on course for a currency crisis and bankruptcy - no idea how they distract their way out of that one?

Not necessarily, because the law on anonymity of sexual assault victims extends (e g.) to a newspaper making allegations that (e.g.) an MP assaulted another MP. The Sexual Offences Act sort of assumes there is a complainant who is also the victim but it doesn't seem clear whether a complaint has to be made to have an investigation into allegations where the alleged victim has not complained.I presume those he groped would have to inform the Police they would like to press charges?
That Bloomberg link takes us to awkward territory.Its an opinion piece, TBF. Rent a head Warner's job is to look exceedingly rural-white, 50sth, and saying "Its time for less spending, less government!".
Yep. Austerity, that's where we need to be. Easy. Dont cut the grass as often. Dont bail the NHS out! No big projects! Squeeze the workers, no more pay! Hang on! All thats happened already. At breakiing point on all the usual targets, have been for some time. Eventually, when slicing a sausage, there is nowt bloody left. Then you find out, who actually doesnt give a shit, theyll slice their thumb off and say that's their idea of fair, as long as you get none.
Anyway, other similar Telegraph opinion pieces-to-order allege that this crisis is going to make civil servants richer. Usual stuff. The usual "Economic Conservative" safe cards are being wielded out.
Arguable that's roughly how they got into this mess. On the one hand capitalising on Boris' weakness last year to get Saj into Health, pushing further to prevent any restrictions over Xmas. And ultimately 'ending' COVID. Also leaving us the worst recovery rates & largest sick list in Europe. On the other, not coming up with anything which might have helped the economy. Apart from... Tax Cuts, which he wont do - as, rightly or wrongly, no one outside the bitterest of mid and high bracket payers particularly believes thats going to help very much.
Ever decreasing circles.
"Still worth listening Right Leaner" Niall Ferguson, meanwhile, is sort of writing the whole thing off as the end of the Brexit Dream, but that's better saved for the other thread.
Oh, who cares, here you go.
Brexit Has the UK Traveling the Wrong Way in Time
Even considering the disruptions of Covid and the war in Ukraine, leaving the EU has been an expensive divorce for Britain.www.bloomberg.com
