Very funny and catty obituary of Peter Jay, who just died: www.theguardian.com/media/2024/s...
Peter Jay obituary
Economic journalist and broadcaster labelled ‘the cleverest young man in England’
"Jay, ..., was delighted when his father-in-law repeated this to the Labour conference in 1976, but professed himself less pleased when Thatcher adopted monetarism in the 80s. “When I hear that,” he admitted, “I feel like the schoolmaster who first showed Genghis Khan a map of the world.”"
Gosh. The author really did not like him!
