There's nothing like taking your minds off Brexit than to have an argy about rubbish collection.

If I was one of them spin doctors worried about all the bad headlines the Government's getting I'd ask whatever minister is responsible for rubbish – well most of them are certainly rubbish but I mean the one actually responsible for it – and say: ‘Can you in the next 48 hours in between the Prime Minister losing votes about Brexit come up with a really crap idea about recycling that will completely shift the headines.'
