In dismal news for pinko liberals on the internet, it is announced that Simon Heffer is leaving the Daily Telegraph to pursue other projects.

Whether calling for mass sackings in the public sector, lambasting politicians for wearing musical ties, or simply asking for bigger portions in British restaurants, Heffer was always good value for an outraged retweet. In his absence, only Melanie Phillips and the Daily Mail are left to prevent lefties having nothing to be outraged about at all. He will be sadly missed.
