1/The Spaffing, Priapic, Lazarus Clown is (according to some in the know) "in a funny place mentally" . He& #39;s not dealing with this crisis because, for the Ist time in his life, he& #39;s met something he can& #39;t bluff his way out of, laugh his way out of or shag and lie his way out of.

2/ Daddy can& #39;t pull strings to make 40,000 dead people disappear and the Bullingdon Club only prepared him for smashing things up. Scoring points at the Oxford Union was easy - at PMQ Starmer will quietly remove the carnival mask from the Clown layer by layer.

3/The Clown knows this and at this moment I bet that Chequers is suffering a severe bog-roll and booze shortage for, like his hero Winston, this fraud likes to fly while high. Mr Gove is waiting in the wings (he won& #39;t get centre stage) nostrils packed with the Devil& #39;s Dandruff.

4/ An old Chinese curse goes, "May you live in interesting times." I& #39;m not sure how that translates into Latin or Greek.
