I too read that in The Times yesterday and had to check the date. Had it been 1 April I would have taken it in the spirit of a joke, but since it was not I expect we can see this sort of thing being introduced by Corbyn if he ever gets the chance.

Since the chap's death was regarded as work-related injury, does it follow that had he survived he could legitimately put the young lady's charge* on expenses?
