Benefit offenders, sponging socialists and young ladies who get pregnant to jump the housing queue, now Peter Lilley can add chairmen of Energy and Climate Change select committees to his little list.

Worth reading Gallery Guido’s take for more:

“We had a masterclass in passive aggressive responses from Emily Shuckburgh of the Royal Meteorological Society. Her winsome smile, her quiet, disbelieving giggle, her cosy chuckling with allies in the room, her manner of explaining something really, really difficult to a seven-year-old. And almost effortlessly constructing answers just wide enough of the question to confuse the issue, the audience and the questioners.”
