Chloe Smith and the secret plan to fight inflation
Even Tory politicians are up in arms over apparently not knowing about the UK government’s plan to delay a petrol price increase.
Here is some priceless footage from BBC Newsnight last night when presenter Jeremy Paxman took junior minister Chloe Smith to task over the announcement.
The whole situation bears a striking resemblance to a classic West Wing scene when deputy chief of staff Josh Lyman was allowed to run a press briefing, rather than the usual, mostly unflappable CJ.
Here is press briefing and the follow-up with president Bartlett (sorry, can’t embed).
Brilliant.
NB: H/T @mattrhodes for coming up with the connection.
Audio Drivel 5 - Up and Away
Kevin May
Someone pointed out that the previous efforts in the Audio Drivel series were perhaps lacking in Big Choons (as the saying goes).
Always been more of a progressive house-type spinner, but happy to try a different direction.
So, time to throw in some Faithless, UNKLE, Lusine et al.
It’s certainly more upbeat than the usual stuff. Almost “vocal” :).
