    Nominations For Tory Leadership Closed

    5 o'clock tonight, and the race is on! So - just for fun - here is an irreverent look at a selection of candidates.


    Forerunner Boris Johnson has
    vowed he won't make more faux pas,
    By crusading with a *lower profile
    Despite *this not being his usual style.

    Under a cloud is
    Michael Gove's campaign,
    Since he's admitted snorting cocaine
    But still he feels we otta know
    that was 20~odd years' ago
    !

    E'en
    Rory Stewart could face a ban
    For opium in Iran ,
    "Come clean" also ... ... was his aim
    Because he too is full of shame.

    Tax cuts for the lower paid,
    Are pledges
    Dominic Raab's now made:
    "Deal or none - we're out the (EU's) "door"
    Hmm ... ... we've heard it all before
    !

    These then ... they're just four
    Whom Tories will be voting for
    Despite there being a further seven
    Mak
    ing a grand total of eleven.

    Well, he seems a bit barmy at times, but at least (hopefully) he has a pair.

    Good luck to him , to the UK, and to the value of my pounds !
