Never understood this construction. If you’re working tirelessly then you’re not working hard enough (and I’m sure Sunak is). He should just say “I’m bloody exhausted trying to sort this but I’ll keep going until we do”.

Sunak is hoping to win round the rebels with smoked salmon at the inhuman hour of 7am. I think he’d be doing better if he made Gawain Towler his chef de mission.

Go out on a high (even if it is the wrong college) but a pity A Cambridge Diary is ending after a mere 13 years. Quite a back catalogue to retweet, though…

Perfect Elgin Marbles solution: The King personally gives them back, but says he can only do so to a fellow sovereign. At short notice they need a monarch with Greek heritage and an obviously Greek name for a one way trip to Athens: step up Andrew.
