Every man has his moment of weakness, and a few days back I had mine. Before you start imagining things, it’s about an idea your editor and I discussed earlier this week. How about reviewing the news on TV? If the nightlies dominate chatter across living rooms/ social media/ cocktail circuits/ watercooler, surely they should get discussed on newsprint too.

I hate watching news, but I do it all the time. On the tube next to my desk or on my laptop. Or track it via social media. A holiday for me, is being away from the telly.
