A Very Naughty Baron

One of the several obscure henchbeings elevated to the House of Lords in the National Johnson's ejection honours list has very selfishly and unsportingly decided to operate within the rules. Baron Rosenfield of Muswell Hill will sit as a cross-bench rather than a Conservative peer, because his day job as a fossil fuel and utilities profiteer requires a veneer of political neutrality. Rosenfield's lack of buccaneering spirit will deprive the Conservatives of slightly more than a third of one per cent of their presence in the upper chamber, and has caused purple-faced umbrage to break out in the Other Place with predictably orgiastic fulmination. One anonymoid retroactively and unilaterally expelled Rosenfield from the Party, while another proclaimed that he had committed the total outrage of making the National Johnson look like a chump. It remains as yet unclear how the National Johnson intends to rebut the calumny that his looking like a chump requires anything more than his own personal pluck and gumption.
