GORDON BROWN IS TALKING TO JAQUI SMITH

GORDON

Jaqui, this new legislation allowing employers to show preferential treatment to women. Isn't it going to make the public hate us even more?

JAQUI

No Gordon it's heroic of us to stand up for poor, underpaid women. The cleaners, dinner ladies, sex workers who makes this country great.

GORDON

I meant this bit. Preferential treatment should be offered to all women, especially Ex MPs, in unpopular parties, who are about to lose their safe seat.

ALISTAIR DARLING COMES ON IN A DRESS

ALISTAIR

All budgets are rape! Equal rights for crap chancellors, and women.

This sketch goes downhill fast. The first line from Jacqui is clever and looks like you are going somewhere interesting with this. Gordon's line shows that, no, you are not, and then we have Alistair Darling in a dress...

I take your point on neatening, but I think with this one the punch is the punch.

Thanks

I think some of it is a little heavy handed again but if you can't find somewhere else to put Alistair Darling in a dress shouting 'All budgets are rape!' then I might have to steal it.

I think I might put the line back thanks.
