Given he has Lib Dem suppoort in his background and he has some, umm, unusual ideas about railways, which disagree with governmment policy (as recently announced): Too many decisions about trains are made by engineers or people who like trains (e.g. Andrew Adonis). Trains get you from A to B...

Apparently: Sources told the PA news agency that the remarks were made in personal emails and that Dr Leunig was not speaking in his Treasury role. So just why was he selected to be an adviser? I assume this must be a post-Javid-Downing-Street-Appointed adviser as surely Sunak has no...

That the hand washing advice has only just become something the political people are emphasising suggests two things. (Yes, it has been mentioned in a sort of low key way by journos.) First, they haven't got anything else to give us. Second, they have been extraorinarily slow at getting even...

Well his constituents knew what they were voting for: Leave 65.18% Remain 34.82%

I suspect even less of a mechanism than they have in the USA. And we all saw...

Look who appointed her... Priti Patel is far from the first minister to fall out with a Whitehall mandarin Chris Mullin Frosty relationshps with civil servants can thwart a minister’s ambitions, as I discovered to my cost As for Patel, I suspect her problem – aside from allegations of...
