Dame Elizabeth Taylor's last recognisable movie – an Agatha Christie adaptation – arrived three decades ago, when Geoffrey Howe was chancellor.
Consider, then, the priorities of the Times on the day that Taylor died. Twenty rather padded pages of pullout budget coverage; a full dozen fact- and ex-husband-packed pages on the Taylor passing. Even the Daily Mail only managed five.
It is commonplace to say that newspapers are chasing (and losing) young readers. It's odd, then, to reflect that nobody under the age of 40 was around in the front stalls when The Mirror Crack'd Taylor's residual career apart.
I know George Osborne didn't have much cash to move around, but it is at least money in your pocket now, not crumpled fivers from long ago.
