The PM announced the appointment of 10 trade envoys yesterday, including Kate Hoey. The peer and former Vauxhall MP was the obvious choice to promote trade with Ghana. Ken Clarke used to be a roving trade envoy covering the whole world, but now there are more than 30. So Brexit has created jobs after all — albeit for politicians. SIR Lindsay Hoyle is the first Speaker to have an official Twitter account, but he saves the best stuff for his personal feed. On top of the regular photos of him beaming with pride at family fun days in his Chorley constituency, he’s taken to posting late-night tweets about his love of Motown. Wholesome.
