In all seriousness, how long can this individual remain in post? It seems entirely appropriate that he remain chairman since he is symbolic of the kind of mendacious, get-rich-quick extractive capitalism that typifies the Conservative Party, but this revelation is some weeks old and he continues to hold a post in the cabinet.
