There's no one like Macavity

To: The Daily Telegraph

Sir,

On the day Damian Green was arrested the cabinet was meeting in Birmingham, and ministers were otherwise engaged in the afternoon in a full schedule of West Midlands regional press events. On the day that charges were dropped, the cabinet met in Scotland to the same effect. The innovation in any case looks suspiciously like an exercise in electioneering rather than government, but is this a case of mere synchronicity, or 'while the cat's away' - or what?

Yours faithfully
