RhymeForOurTime

(Apologies to Rudyard Kipling) If you can keep your head when Labour, Lib Dems and SNP are giving you flack If you can stand tall when civil servants, the BBC and your own party are on the attack

If you can answer the question ‘What is a woman’ without hesitation

If you can show kings and commoners are part of one nation

If you can fast track the work

from home slow lane

If you can stop the immigration lawyers’ gravy train

If you can take down union

barons with Marxist views If you can deflect interviewers competing to make the news

If you can put paid to

pretentious wokery

If you can fix the deficit

without QE jiggery pokery If you can snip Brexit’s last

lingering cords

If you can get rid of the

House of Lords

If you can cut waste on the

latest diversity trend Then you are halfway to

becoming PM, my friend. R. J. Sebire, Vale, Guernsey.
