Cat-inet reshuffles: the long history of felines in politics
Evie the cat has been promoted to the Equalities Unit, while Larry is still clinging on at No 10

There’s been another cabinet reshuffle. This time, it wasn’t prompted by a principled resignation over Brexit facts that should have been apparent 18 months ago. No, this is a rare good news story in our raging trashfire of a political culture – a promotion born of strong performance and quiet diligence. Evie the cat has moved from the the Cabinet Office to be the new face of the Equalities Unit.

New law provides for exploitation of isles and islets without Navy approval

The Greek Finance Ministry submitted a bill on Friday to parliament which included a clause allowing the concession of small islands and isles to private citizens for the purpose of business exploitation without the approval of the Hellenic Navy General Staff.

The current law does not permit the concession of islands and isles for business or tourist exploitation without the approval of the Hellenic Navy.
