A minor and (un)important correction

Alarmingly I was in error when I described Louise Mensch as an ex-minister. Only now has she been appointed "steward and bailiff of the Manor of Northstead" in some sort of absurd parliamentary tradition, employed only when a minister wants to step down, that would be better remedied by rewriting the law instead of ritually circumventing it and exposing the frayed and decaying pages of the document on which it was written.
