Because it's Friday and I am of generous spirit I shall share with you a short story about Jim Bethell who is something of a cult figure at Good Law Project.
So some time ago, we spotted that Jim was a big user of the rocket emoji (🚀) (check out his twitter). We assume the 🚀 captured something of the Tiggerish optimism of Brexit. Perhaps, indeed the character revealed by his emoji use was amongst the reasons why he was hired?
Anyway, as time went on, and Government lawyers redacted more of the juicier bits of their disclosure, including the names of email correspondents, we came to believe we could identify Jim from the liberal 🚀🚀s. And this gave us a note of pleasure in dark times.
When Jim departed his Ministerial post, the staffers of Good Law Project had mixed feelings. And one created a 'sad rocket' emoji as a memorial to Jim. We still use it on our internal boards at moments that are more Eeyore than Tigger.
When all of Good Law Project is but memory and Pompeii there will remain Jim and the sad rocket emoji. 
I do @gem_abbott, I do.
