There have been all kinds of whispered rumours about his relationship with the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, however as an alternative of ignoring them, he determined to clarify himself in a TV interview with Emily Maitlis. Which went nicely.
As a result of afterwards, the whispered rumours turned enormous rumbling shouts and he ended up giving £12million to a woman he claims he’d by no means met.
Politicians know what I’m on about. Once they’re caught with the hand within the until or a girlfriend’s knickers, they don’t simply put their heads down and return to work.
They at all times determine to clarify themselves and that at all times makes every part worse.

Nevertheless, as this can be a complete diplomatic no-no, his aides instantly rushed in entrance of the cameras to say that what the doddery previous idiot meant to say was that Putin shouldn’t be in energy . . . in Ukraine.
It was a hopeless excuse which made them look silly.
And speaking of silly, Matt Hancock. Solely final month he donned an unwise polo-necked jumper and took part in an interview about the affair he’d had whereas the remainder of us had been hiding from Covid, underneath the steps.
And there may be actually nobody on earth who watched that and thought, “Oh yeah. He’s a pleasant man. He ought to get his job again.”

I’ve been there. Just a few years in the past, a newspaper claimed I’d used the N-word and I used to be livid due to course I hadn’t.
So I took to social media, flapping and squawking about my innocence and it was like pouring petrol on the hearth.
I’ve realized that there’s nowhere on God’s inexperienced earth costlier than the ethical excessive floor. And Prince William wants to grasp that as nicely.
Kick furnishings
As a result of if he comes out like a whirling Dervish each time somebody says one thing horrible about his spouse’s frock or his brother’s new tattoo, he’s going to look pathetic and silly.
I recognize that when he and his spouse had been roundly criticised for being too colonial on their current journey to the Caribbean, he should have been squirming with rage.
He’d solely finished what the job requires him to do. And now every- one was shouting at him.
Nicely, your Princeness, right here’s my suggestion.
Go right into a quiet nook and spend a while kicking furnishings to get it out of your system, as a result of should you shout again, it’ll price you your dignity and us, simply perhaps, the Royal Household itself.

He really has a Golf. Nicely that’s what he says in interviews. However he additionally has a Vary Rover.
Come on, man. Why disguise it? In the event you’re comfortable to be seen swanning round in a pair of £335 Italian footwear, why not admit you’ve some critical wheels?
It’s not against the law .
A limp reply
IF you’d requested Winston Churchill, or Margaret Thatcher, or Tony Blair, and even Gordon Brown if a lady can have a penis, they’d have puzzled should you’d misplaced your thoughts, and mentioned: “No.”
However we now stay in unusual occasions, so when Sir Starmer was requested the identical query this week, he type of mentioned: “Er.”
He in all probability thought he was being very on-message and woke, and it’s true. He was.
Which implies he could have secured eight votes on the subsequent election. And misplaced 20million.
