Spectator competition winners: Red-Lycra-ed Galloway, G

Entries came flooding in following the invitation to submit poems about a politician and an item of clothing. Michael Foot’s donkey jacket; Harold Wilson’s Gannex mac; William Hague’s baseball cap; Hillary’s pantsuit: all featured in what was a cracking entry. I especially enjoyed Fiona Pitt-Kethley opening line on Theresa May’s leathers: ‘Her look’s more S&M than M&S…’ There were strong performances, too, from Jennifer Moore, Anne Woolfe, Albert Black, Tony Reardon, Dorothy Pope and Derek Greenwood. The winners, printed below, are rewarded with £25 each. The bonus fiver is Chris O’Carroll’s.

Chris O’Carroll She’s a woman for all weather, Legs resplendent in fine leather. Has she flayed some fallen foe and tanned his       hide?

There’s no fashionista like her — Half Posh Spice, half outlaw biker, See her girded for a PM’s jarring ride,

See the wardrobe of a Tory Leader rate a front-page story When leadership’s a female occupation.

Her ensemble is a chic one, Not a cheap, too-shiny sleek one.
