Thérèse Coffey is fixing it, one Oxford comma at a time

This is from last Friday’s Guardian.

It’s commenting on an email from the new British health secretary, Thérèse Coffey to her staff about the Oxford comma. The piece is a great read and good fun, with serious undertones of course. With a name like Coffey, the minister may have links to Ireland. And not a word about when to use the fada.
