Well where do you start! Boris gone, liz gone, liz (the other one) gone leaving us with rishi “we’re all in this together especially me and the wife” Sunak. that just about leaves gareth “ waistcoat” Southgate as the last man standing.

So liz ”where’s the cheese “ truss lasted 44 days in a bizarre parallel with Brian Clough’s tenure at leeds Utd. Perhaps this was a tribute to Brian and her own days spent in leeds. She managed to put the economy in a tailspin losing ministers here there and everywhere whereas Brian only had to deal with the Bremner Keegan sending off in the 1974 Charity Shield at Wembley. Unlike liz “i’m for Europe but not Anymore” truss Brian went on to European glory with notts Forest! Perhaps a fitting quote for Liz from Brian would be “We had a good team on paper but unfortunately the game was played on grass!”

What of Boris “Party Animal” Johnson….. took the summer off to go on holiday came back did us all a favour and didn’t stand for PM but for some reason reckoned it was ok to turn up at the Climate talks in Egypt….. another chance of a tan perhaps? Well he had enough from a recent speech (£250,000) for a few bottles of Ambre Solaire!!

So without Jack hawkins on the plane gareth leads our boys to the desert hopefully after a screening of lawrence of Arabia on the flight (Jack Hawkins is in it at least). So Iran in the midday sun, and USA and the Welsh in the setting sun. Which formation? Xmas tree with harry Kane as the fairy on the top (can i say that?), wingless wonders a la Sir
