If I were Rachel Reeves, I'd get the local police to raid the pub for underage drinkers and environmental health to go through the place like a dose of salts. HMRC too.
Thankfully, Reeves has, unlike hacks at The Mail on Sunday, more important matters.

Entertaining as this spat is, it contains not-a-flicker of recognition as to WHY this might be happening.
For 16 months, a tax-exile-oligarch-owned, mostly right-wing press, has abused the privilege of these exclusive private sessions, to misrepresent the gov't on every issue. This is the FO stage.

Weird how The Sun calls for the the BBC to cancel Strictly Come Dancing every time there's the slightest hint of a scandal, but they don't demand the Premier League be shut down every time a footballer does an actual rape.

Story thread-
When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

The real disgrace in UK's welfare bill is that so much of it is spent on people in work. We are subsidising jobs that do not pay enough to live on. If we genuinely made sure work paid a decent living, then we would not have such a high bill.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

I'd recommend a visit to Bastogne in Belgium and the scene of the Battle of the Bulge.
One of the last big battles of WW2, where US troops destroyed the remnants of the Wehrmarcht making victory inevitable.
The gentleman is a fine example of the courage of the US army.
