I’ve studied the photo. I’ve read the allegations and conspiracy theories. And I’m not buying them. Call me captured, but I believe Carl Niehaus and Busisiwe Mkhwebane.

I know this isn’t the biggest story in the world. You could argue, for example, that I should be focusing on the arrival of Boris Johnson in Downing Street. But given that Niehaus is a more capable and trustworthy leader than Johnson, I’m staying on this one. ..
