Letters From A Tory

Dear Alan Johnson,

I always thought politics was a battle for the limelight, but you seem to be lingering in the darkness at the moment.  My question to you is how long can you take the strain?

Only a few weeks back, Uncle Gordon stepped in like a true fatherly figure and stole your announcement about a new 5-year cancer treatment plan, making you look pretty stupid and negating your entire role.  Now, this morning, he’s done it again and snatched another supposedly major (although slightly gimmicky) announcement about a new NHS screening programme.  I’m just wondering how it feels to be so irrelevant, seeing as you were presumably thrilled to keep a senior cabinet position in Uncle Gordon’s government, only to find yourself excess to requirements?

Poor man.
