Keep an eye on the Minister of Janice. He’s living in a couple of old rooms in Valletta, having walked out of the family home and with not enough on his current salary to buy somewhere lush of his own and pay child support.

Yet he has the most enormously pushy and ambitious girlfriend who is still in her 20s, has a child, lives with her parents and will be wanting a home of her own – somewhere befitting her boyfriend’s station in life as Minister of Janice.

Muscat has transferred Identity Malta from the Minister of the Interior’s portfolio to the Minister of Janice’s portfolio, and is visibly drawing him closer into the net. A lesser man than than the Minister of Janice will not be able to resist all that temptation.
