Mrs Grumble has some great advice for the beleaguered Alasdair Thompson, who looks likely soon to have nothing much to do except think about how to say things without inviting the wrath of the nation’s harpies.

The ship has a sheila at the helm – or rather, a sheila as skipper who will order whoever is at the helm which way to turn.
Does this make her the ship’s master – or its mistress?
