Brexit botcher David “Frosty” Frost has been getting worked up about Rachel Reeves’ use of freebie concert tickets to see the likes of US warbler Sabrina Carpenter.
Frost approvingly reposted an X comment saying that “the concerts they choose to go to are so lacking in any real artistic merit: they have the taste of teenagers”, and asking “shouldn’t we expect more from our political leaders?”.
Frost was writing just after returning from Buckinghamshire, where he gave the keynote speech at a weekend at the Margaret Thatcher Centre. Thatcher, of course, had much weightier tastes in music. Asked by Smash Hits magazine in 1987 her favourite piece of music, she opted for Lita Roza’s 1953 novelty hit (How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window?
