The Evening Standard plays matchmaker for Nicky Morgan

A sub at the Standard has given David Gauke MP a new wife - and a new name. 

By Media Mole

Your mole always gets a cold sweat when writing up captions. In the mole’s first job at the Riverbank Crier, a photo was once run of a couple of otters in a story about rabbits. 

So the mole can only sympathise with those hard-pressed subs over at the Evening Standard, who have mistaken David Gauke, a treasury minister, with Nicky Morgan’s husband.

You should be so lucky, Gauke-y.
