Targeted Savings

Those who fear that His Majesty's Government lacks the capacity for joined-up thinking will rejoice at Team Starmer's latest purge of antisemitic tendencies from the hallowed haunts of Whitehall. Before his recent martyrdom on the altar of prime-ministerial self-preservation, the sainted Olly Robbins further discharged his sacred duty of protecting the Government from anything it doesn't want to know about; in this case by shutting down the department at the Ministry for Wogs, Beads and Trinkets which monitors Israeli war crimes. Evidently the ministerial process of deciding that Russia and Iran are worse, and that arms sales to the Righteous State must therefore continue, is now to be fully automated; doubtless to the incalculable benefit of international law, economic growth and Holocaust remembrance.
