Married to the editor in chief

The Guardian is against nepotism and jobs for the boys/old white men though so his columns must be insanely popular

The fact their relationship started around the time he began getting paid to write for the Guardian is entirely coincidental

Sorry mate. Tell you what, DM me a list of journalists in order from worst to best, and I’ll be sure to start at the bottom and work my way up according to your rankings. Cheers, appreciate the input

As if I have the time or inclination to do to do that. Any bod who writes for the Mail praising the Donald or trolling Angela Rayner would be a good place to start, however.

I'd love to know how much he's on.

Think he'd make a decent Boarder though.

It's not that easy to write about idiosyncratic, trivial topics. Some light relief has its place in a weighty publication. Inoffensive enough.
