Freeman at Last

I am sure we all sympathise deeply with George Freeman MP, whose well-fed appearance belies a life of suffering and privation under the cruel mistress that is government. Having been thrust reluctantly into high office, doubtless via one of the numerous non-sycophantic and un-backstabbing routes which are so very customary in our mother of democracies, Freeman has discovered that he can't keep up with his mortgage payments. Even a brief stab at PPE profiteering during the pandemic has not significantly alleviated his difficulties, and doubtless his most recent ministerial stint, as Minister for Science, Research and Innovation in a government that doesn't believe in facts or planning or keeping schools from falling down, has proven stressful above and beyond the consolations that a beggarly hundred and eighteen thousand a year can bring.
