Oh, and if Abela needs money for his supermarket, China is the right place. Alternatively, he can have a word with il-Kugin ta’ Ryan the next time they sit next to each other in the cabinet meeting – who knows, maybe he can provide Ryan’s phone number.

It’s either the embassy, or Toni Abela’s supermarket.

Would Abela’s visit to China be as hilarious?

A government delegation is accountable to the electorate, but a Labour delegation discussing national issues thinks it isn’t.

Times of Malta did not bother to ask any questions in 2010 when Muscat was still in Opposition and visited China where he signed an agreement with the Chinese government – the contents of which he never revealed, although he publicly signed it.

Can you imagine Times of Malta being bothered now? I, for one, can’t.

Is this Labour party visit being financed through public funds? It’s Labour, there’s a growing tendency to internalise the abnormal.

With the prime minister’s wife speaking in the name of the government, I wouldn’t be surprised to discover that the government is funding this Labour Party jolly.

May they will try Uganda, Nigeria and Pakistan while they are at it.
