Krishnan Guru-Murthy asked George Eustace about the ‘meat tax’ that never was and his disbelief speaks for us all
Not the first time we’ve featured Krishnan Guru-Murthy on these pages and it doubtless won’t be the last.

Just a quick recap, in the unlikely event you’ve missed it.
We will never impose unnecessary and heavy-handed measures on you, the British people.
