Parliament is in the mire with sleaze aplenty. Whether it’s double jobs for six figures or foreign jaunts sparking domestics: MPs have been hitting the headlines this week for their various indiscretions, undeclared or otherwise. With politics in peril and cynicism all around, which champion of integrity can step forth to remind us of politicians at their best, of a better time, when statesmen governed with integrity?
Cometh the hour, cometh the Hancock. Undaunted by past indiscretions, the womanizer of West Suffolk has returned to the fray today to nobly remind us all of his many virtues. The libidinous legislator is reported to be writing a comeback account of ‘How I Won The Covid War’ on his ‘heroic’ role in the UK vaccine campaign. The book, which could earn him an advance of £100,000 will allow him to dispute claims he was to blame for key blunders in the pandemic as well as push his case for a Cabinet return.
