When Gordon Brown makes any intervention into public life, it’s always about doing the right thing or standing up for the vulnerable. Compare that to the motivations of any other recent former PM.

"It is now a crime to engage in prohibited conduct (such as lobbying) if it is intended to interfere with UK democratic processes, public functions, or to prejudice the safety or interests of the UK, especially when working on behalf of a foreign power."

These pair should be charged with this.

Political 'satire', at times, even in the simplest of forms, can be sheer genius.

Comic book critics often say things like, β€œThat's stupid. How could anyone think Clark Kent is a different person to Superman just because he put on glasses?” 



But then Farage says Robert Jenrick has gone from β€œa total fraud” to β€œChancellor material” just by wearing a different colour rosette πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
