Self entitled Social Science lecturers from the LSE were told they would not be asked to contribute to government work and analysis on Brexit because they have never had an actual job and if the Government wanted to hear this kind of faux moral superiority they would get a looped tape of Cherie Blair talking to Bono about rainforests.

“It is utterly baffling that the government is turning down expert, independent advice on Brexit simply because someone has never had an actual job, had to make a real decision or has ever been accountable for anything” said Nick Clegg, the Liberal Democrats’ EU spokesman and the only person so starved of public attention that he was prepared to comment on this.

“This is yet more evidence of the Government adopting rational policymaking instead of following the incoherent ramblings of Ed Miliband’s dad”

Sara Hagemann, an assistant professor at the London School of Economics who specialises in persuading 18 year old trust fund Trotskyists to wear button badges and sing folk songs outside the Conservative Party Annual Concert, said she had been told her services would not be required. Hagemann tweeted on Thursday “Outrage! Don’t they know who I am?”

For the Government Amber Rudd said “take her name down and find out where she lives.”
