If the Chancellor thinks he’ll be getting an easier ride from the new editor this’ll have him choking on his chips. He’s coming under a McFlurry of criticism this morning for taking away from tax-efficient £10-a-burger Byron, who are obviously run by an Etonian. His defence is particularly dodgy:

Awkwardly, neither do Byron, a fact Guido can confirm from disappointed experience.
