Lady Whale and I, normally so simpatico, appear to have had a slight disagreement about the Elgin Marbles - yes, those lumps of old stone currently in the British Museum.
Rishi Sunak s Tory Party conference speech said everything I had hoped it would. except for the scrapping of the HS2 Birmingham to Manchester leg. I won t repeat my argument again, but I believe it s misguided to mothball such a huge project when so much has already been done at such massive cost. But there you go.
