I hope Rachel Reeves’s response to Andy Burnham’s offer of a lesser job after removing her as Chancellor was like that of my stepdaughter when she received a letter saying she hadn’t got a job at the local zoo’s gift shop. She opened the letter, read it and bellowed, “Shove it up your arse!”
Dear FIFA,
For the next World Cup, do you think you could see your way clear to scrapping ‘hydration’ breaks, keeping the final half-time to fifteen minutes, without any Superbowl-type entertainment and doing away with the ‘bronze medal’ match altogether?
You could? Marvellous.
