Hitching a Ride on the Popemobile

In the wake of the attempt by the Glorious Successor and Jailer-in-Chief of Juveniles to mobilise the child abuse vote, Daveybloke the Cuddly Conservative has had a bit of a chat with the Catholic Herald in order to woo the coathanger vote. Being a moderate, Daveybloke supports a "modest reduction" in the time limit for abortions, because of "the way medical science and technology have developed in the past few decades", and despite the agreement of every medical body in the country that the present limit should be maintained. Evidently Daveybloke subscribes to the Alan Johnson school of scientific awareness, at least so long as he is talking to the Catholic Herald. Daveybloke is also in favour of forcing the terminally ill to suffer as long as possible, and is presumably inclined to be tough on crime by prosecuting anyone who seeks to help them end their lives. Asked whether he believed in resurrection, Daveybloke answered "Yes, but I sometimes struggle with the big leaps"; which, despite the image it conjures of people bounding out of their graves like Boris Johnson not quite getting the hang of being dead, is slightly more sensible than the Nicene Creed and a good deal more concise.
