Having slated Matt H yesterday for his ‘too little, too late’ salute to care workers, hats off to him for hitting both serious and popular breakfast radio with a user-friendly Chris Evans interview.

You don’t go into politics for the money and, as a Roman who knew about stuff said very many years ago, glory is short-lived. And I would guess that Piers Morgan earns more than the whole cabinet put together for rather less hours. And responsibility.
