Of all the talents

In a move clearly designed to take media attention away from the dreary Queen’s Speech, the government has done something very sensible: it’s hired Giles Wilkes, a damnably smart and lucid economics blogger, who will, alas, be blogging no more. This will doubly impair my ability to criticise their economic policies.

Congrats to Giles, goodbye and good luck!

(NB If the new Minister for Sarcasm and Puns is reading this, I’m open to offers…)
