A dinghy?noooo; i went to sea in a pea-green boat
Or some dinghy's (sic)
More propaganda might work better.
But I doubt it.
It’s always heartening when people agree with you. I had Keir Starmer down as a non-ideological technocratic centrist dad the moment I first clocked him, with a tin ear for both simple human interaction and the darker subtleties of the political arts. (says Martin Rowson in today's Grudiana.) So despite carrying his famous “Ming vase” over the line in the 2024 election, I’ve been wholly unsurprised by him flatfooting and pratfalling through jagged shards of porcelain ever since, living down to all my worst fears.
Or so I thought, until a family visit to China last month, when I established a connection beyond mythical Ming vases. The “Keir Starmer menu” has become a foodie phenomenon.
While in Beijing he booked a table at Yi Zuo Yi Wang, a popular Yunnan restaurant in Chaoyang, an area home to foreign embassies and international media organisations, galleries and happening night-spots. (Yi Zuo Yi Wang translates as “In and Out”, but that’s just a coincidence.)
The Red Snapper is v. popular, apparently.
