Small Miracle at English Heritage
A double miracle has happened at English Heritage. The Government has appointed a chairman, after postponing the decision for six months. And the new chairman is a Tory, Lord Bruce-Lockhart, the former leader of Kent County Council. For this Government to appoint a Tory to a public position is almost unheard of. I hope that with his vast political experience Lord Bruce-Lockhart can ensure that English Heritage can get a better deal from Government - it has had its grant cut by millions in the last few years.

I am guessing it must be a poison chalice then. As normally there would be no other reason for a Labour government to give a position to a Tory person. As they say keep your friends close and your enemies closer or as Labour would say “take all credit even if you haven’t done anything but always ensure there is someone to blame”. Expect for some difficult decisions to be needed to be made and if they work it will be thanks to Labour and if they don’t it will be because of the interference of the Tory member.

Another Scot in charge of English affairs. Why the surprise that Westminster’s Scottiish cabal appointed yet another Scot to mess up England?
It’s no surprise to me. Nor millions of other long-suffering English.
