A word I’m pleased to see at least Paddle Boarding Ed (Davey, as no-one is calling him) is trying to bring back into the political mix. The rest have been avoiding it as some kind of unchangeable monolith. Were I to be so inclined, I assume that my Irish second passport would let me bypass it all. Smug alert.
