- Rishi Sunak had his photo taken in No. 10
- Stood next to the Union Flag
- Wearing his Adidas Sambas
- And my Sambas haven't left the shoe cupboard since.
- George Galloway won the Rochdale by election
- And delivered his victory speech
- Wearing a black fedora
- And my fedora now lives at the bottom of my wardrobe.
- I grew a fun little moustache
- Like Charlie Chaplin wore
- In all his funny films
- But, apparently, they've been taboo since about 1939.
- I asked a photographer to do my LinkedIn profile photo
- Seated on a throne
- Made of the skulls of my vanquished enemies
- But, supposedly, that wouldn't be appropriate in a modern, progressive work environment.
- This rail replacement bus is taking forever.____
