I Am the Very Model of a Very Moral Minister

One of Tumbledown Tessie's various ex-ministers for Brexit has apparently decided that the old bandwagons are best. In case of confusion, it should perhaps be made clear that the blithering prima donna David Davis was not the Brexit minister who resigned in a huff over an agreement he had ostensibly negotiated himself; that was Dominic Raab. The blithering prima donna David Davis is also not the Brexit minister whose name nobody can remember; that is Stephen Barclay. The blithering prima donna David Davis was the Brexit minister who let himself be photographed at the negotiating table without any papers in front of him, since the word of Tin-Pot Tessie was the only one that mattered.

Anyway, long before he was elevated to the role of making Britain safe for kippers, the blithering prima donna David Davis resigned from the Bullingdon Club's shadow cabinet and held a vanity by-election, ostensibly because he was concerned about civil liberties. His sincerity in that quixotic crusade may perhaps be gauged by his participation in the poor-bashing, race-baiting, Windrush-deporting, Trump-licking, Saudi-smooching administration of Tin-Pot Tessie and her brothers in Christ of the Democratic Unionist Party. Now, with grandstands in short supply once more, the blithering prima donna David Davis has again discovered that civil liberties are a thing, and specifically that torture is nearly as bad when the Conservatives refuse to do much about it as it was when New Labour actively supported it. Doubtless his objections, as before, will retain their robustness until the next ministerial post comes along to soothe them.
