'A Government of all the talents may not last long'
Independent on Sunday, The, Jul 1, 2007
Matthew d'Ancona wrote in The Spectator that "Government of all the talents" was an unfortunate phrase. "This refers to the 'ministry of all the talents' appointed by Lord Grenville after the death of Pitt the Younger ... the whole enterprise fell to pieces over the issue of Catholic emancipation and ended on 25 March 1807 after less than 14 months.
[It] provided British politics with one of its catchiest sound bites ... but also one of its shortest-lived administrations."
