Strictly speaking, we've already had a Prime Minister who earned the nickname Worzel Gummidge. Remember good old Michael Foot? He was a respected figure on both sides of the political spectrum, being the published author of various books about HG Wells, Lord Byron and others:-



Sadly, as PM, he proved to be a bumbling figure of fun, out of his depth in the modern cut-and-thrust of politics.

Anyway, unless there's a better nickname, I'm happy to go with BoJo The Clown for the (for the moment) present incumbent.
Gonna need some citation on the highlighted bits

Ok, now that he's handed in his papers, I need to know.

Am I the only one who immediately thinks of Benny Hill after seeing the ex PM's face?

I love Benny Hill, so by no means am I trying to insult the ex PM.

Ooops! Sorry Benny!

Among the MPs who also resigned, were any of them guilty for the same offenses, i.e. participating in those big covid parties? I'm only asking because I can't stand that virtue signaling nonsense.

Lisna, you should do a journal on Prime Ministers. I've always been curious about British history.
