The prime minister with another 18-year-old, Terence Agius, Labour mayor of somewhere or other. Isn't there a state corporation he can give him to run?

Air Malta flies to Brussels every day. The national airline is teetering on the verge of bankruptcy, selling coffee to passengers for one euro in paper cups.

But Muscat and his sidekicks took a private jet to their meeting in Brussels, leaving at 4.05pm.

The Air Malta flight to Brussels had left at 4pm with just 90 people on board.

Muscat is a man who leases his own family saloon to the state for use as his official car, making 35,000 euros in five years off a vehicle that was worth a fraction of that.

But then when it comes to Other People’s Money, he throws it around as though it grows on trees, on private jets to make himself and his henchmen feel like bosses and kinks, and on perks, salaries and fripperies for cronies, friends and relations.
