Keith Schembri and Lindsey Gambin are in Dubai too

They’re in the background in these screen-grabs. Keith Schembri, who runs a multi-million-turnover business called Kasco, is the prime minister’s chief of staff. Lindsey Gambin is Konrad Mizzi’s…never mind, but on paper she’s his communications coordinator. Apparently, even in the internet age, you have to be glued to your boss’s hip to write his press releases and email them to the Department of Information – and this when the head of government communications, Kurt Farrugia, is there too.

Why cut costs? Other suckers are paying.
