WESTMINSTER — The fictional Bridie Select Committee has invited a jar of gherkins to give evidence on equal treatment under everyday fixes.
“We will be fair but flaky,” said the chair. The honest-discussion umbrella has been called as a hostile witness after turning inside out on the steps.
This committee has no statutory power. It has crumbs. That is enough.
The real story: Fictional.
