Only the Tories could think this one up, and believe it could be a vote-winning strategy. Or perhaps it was darling Emma who thought that one up?For the rest of us, a Bronx cheer is a more likely response.
But one really does wonder where The Boy stores his brain when he is not using it (most times). He is, we are told, to investigate whether the Swedish "maid credit" system could be transferred to Britain.
