There is a scene in "Thick of It" where ministers, in a cash-strapped government, are brainstorming laws and policies that cost nothing in terms of budget.

The latest Tory proposals sound just like that. Banning floating bus stops, crackdown on "rainbow" lanyards, dangerous cycling. Perhaps in the future people will only be able to have yellow flowers in their gardens or bake bread on odd numbered days.

In a time where big infrastucture investment is needed they are like the middle management that changes the Jira workflow every 3 months just to appear to be doing something.
