“The Conservatives say ministers are in a state paralysed indecision”
The BBC news reader did not quite get his intonation right
It took me a moment to work out whether we were being informed that:
“The Conservatives, ministers say, are in a state of paralysed indecision”
or
“The Conservatives say that ministers are in a state of paralysed indecision”
Come to think of it, both interpretations may be correct
