Sir Keir Bows Out

Tears for souvenirs are all you've left me...

As the UK's outgoing PM managed his last PMQs, no doubt on his way to some plum job in the EU after a holiday on someone's yacht, Sir Keir's legacy resembles the old Ken Dodd hit:

Tears for souvenirs are all you've left me

Memories of a love you never meant

I just can't believe you could forget me

After all those happy hours we spent (together)

But let's look on the bright side.

Rachel Reeves has something substantial to put in her resume and flip-flop Lammy is likely to be on the way out.

As far as FNN is concerned, it's merely a changing of the guard from Barmy Starmy to Barmy Burnham.

Burnham is already floating stuff like a 'land tax' to endear himself to the many people who did not vote for him in the south of England.

William the Conqueror was infamous for 'harrying the North' and now it looks like Burnham intends to turn the tables almost a thousand years later.

Interesting?
