Losing their nerve



Tory MPs losing their nerve because of dire polls, says Jeremy Hunt

Tory MPs are “losing their nerve” because of the party’s poor polling, the Chancellor has said.

Jeremy Hunt told BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme the Conservatives were becoming divided because of Labour’s consistent poll lead.


Has Hunt been reading Wodehouse recently? 

Sir Roderick Glossop, Honoria’s father, is always called a nerve specialist, because it sounds better, but everybody knows that he’s really a sort of janitor to the looney-bin.

We just need them to lose their seats and deposits as well.

And in another suprising news report, the Pope is a Roman Catholic.
We are still waiting for a report on what ursus arctos does in the forest.

Doonhamer - I'm not sure about the Pope being a Roman Catholic though, at times he seems to be unsure of his role.
