Ah, we’re beginning to learn the fine art of the bitchy riposte

This is exactly what needs to be done, but I would sharpen up the tone a little, make it bitchier, add a few details, insert Brian Tonna into the equation – the corrupt accountant with the desk at the Office of the Prime Minister, who fixed it all up for them and also one for himself, to sell passports through.

And I would stop using their real names and begin referring to the Prime Minister, Konrad Mizzi and Keith Schembri, relentlessly, as is-Sur Egrant, is-Sur Hearnville and is-Sur Tillgate.

And the Minister for the Economy? Stop using his name. From now on, he’s Dak Tal-Minibar. And the first time Chris Cardona stands up in parliament to come over all tetchy and moral, I hope somebody shouts across the floor “Jaqaw ergajt xrobtom kollha u ma hallejt xejn?”
