We’ve been through a lot together, Matt. The MH app (still available to download on Google Play /App store), the hardcore parkour running videos, the TikToks. How you managed to fit in a decade of ministerial experience – culture secretary, health secretary, minister for Portsmouth – I’ll never know.
So I can’t say I’m angry, or at least no more than I could be at a root vegetable for ruining a crème anglaise. I mean, what did I expect? That having been spurned by Rishi Sunak for a place in the cabinet and failed to garner enough support to run for Treasury Select Committee chair, you would be content to sit on the backbenches and work tirelessly to build cross-party support for a private member’s bill?
