Chortle, 28th June 2024What would Malcolm Tucker make of this election campaign?
You know things are seriously bad when a leaders' debate looks to be the better option as compared to watching Scotland at the Euros.

Indeed the one person I feel sorry for just now is Armando Iannucci, because the politicians are blatantly stealing his best plot-lines.
