A great @Jacob_Rees_Mogg anecdote in today’s @TimesDiary that really goes to show the issue of Westminster and how out of touch the civil service is. Some career wet considering a yard as binge drinking when it would have been an incredible promotional opportunity.

Thrilled that 'Since Attlee & Churchill' is mentioned in The Times' Diary today...
... although I promise the podcast isn't as expletive-laden as this makes it sound - only when justified, and only when quoting other people!
