LAST TWO STANDING

Four female and four male Would-be-PMs campaign, Till Hunt, Zahawi fail, And only six remain. Suella asks around

To help her bid survive, But too few votes are found To reach the final five. By telling Boris no,

Tom Tugendhat can’t win, And he’s the one to go When round-three votes

come in.

But Kemi soon finds out, Without more chemistry She doesn’t have a shout. The field goes down

to three.

Now Kemi’s votes are due To get a lot of love. Contenders shrink to two As Mordaunt gets

the shove.

The wait will now begin, As Tory minds are sussed. Will trust mean Rishi wins — Or mean that he

gets Trussed?
