This is a good strategy for the Tories because Kier Starmer was a very good barrister and Sunak has the debating skills of a man whose tongue has been cut out.

Yes it’s absolutely disgusting that Olympians should be having sex with their lissom, lean, muscular bodies; in all those different positions; heaving and grunting; blood pulsing visibly through sinews; fluids mixing, sweat pouring. It’s vile, and I don’t want to think about it.

Dim children who are outdoorsy have lots of options: litter-picking, burning things, bullying. But what about the quieter, more sedentary types? Perhaps they deserve their seats in the Youth Parliament. You wouldn’t take a toy away from a lame dog.
