Lines on the Tory leadership

Thursday, 18th August 2022

No 10 downing street

The race for Number 10

WE understand why Tory grandees
Never like smart and clever,
But this time we really ask them, please,
Don’t choose the dullest ever.
Boris lied all the time, but he had style.
Ms Truss, alas, will never make us smile.

RUSSELL BUTLER
