The Grand Panjandrum


Ken Clarke, who has been sworn in as Lord Chancellor. I was never really happy with Jack Straw in the post: the Lord Chancellor should look as if he drinks vintage port, not mint tea.


Clarke has said that abolishing the human rights act is not a priority, which is a shame, because at present if you don't like the decision of our Supreme Court you can appeal to some foreigners.


He will, however have to put up with the flak over the 55% limit for dissolution, a case of a government legislating to prolong its term in office and a pretty ugly spectacle.


Good luck to him.
