Department for Tax and Spend
Yes Please, Minister
Iain Dale is outraged at the news that Paul Gray (brief backstory: in charge of HMRC when Datagate hit the headlines the other week, promptly resigned. With us? Good) is to be given a cushy job in the Cabinet Office which pays two hundred thousand beans a year.
For ourselves, we're more "meh" at the news. Is it really a surprise? For, did not the Good Book say:
It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is to fire a civil servant.
Amen.
