I am a regular reader of Lino Spiteri’s column in The Sunday Times because his political views are generally balanced. However, I have noticed a gradual shift in his writings recently, in that he is being more critical of the government and of the Prime Minister in particular. This could clearly be seen in his column of September 25 and particularly in his defence of his two former ministerial colleagues, Alex Sceberras Trigona and Karmenu Vella.

He made his positive comments about these two consultants of Labour leader Joseph Muscat even though he admits that they are no alternative to Lawrence Gonzi.

I shall continue to read Mr Spiteri’s column, but with greater caution than before.
