You mugwump!

I don't know what a mugwump is. I don't care really. It's a word used by Boris Johnson, the UK Foreign Secretary. This job was once held by Robin Cook who used it to project his views of an ethical foreign policy. But now mugwump is the word used by Boris Johnson in a UK newspaper to describe the leader of the Labour Party. It's meant to be insulting and he put the words 'boring old' in front of the word mugwump just to make sure we understood how bad Jeremy Corbyn is.

I'm guessing Boris was paid to write the article. He usually is. That must make it easier to write this kind of guff.

He's been very quiet recently, has Boris, in spite of the fact that he is apparently a "very popular UK politician." I don't know how Boris earned this reputation with the public - or how it began to decline. But decline it has. It may have to do with photos of him in the press in which he has hung about at international meetings of NATO, the UN and the EU looking like a knotless thread and contributing nothing. It may be to do with that infamous EU bus, which proclaimed that massive amounts of money would be brought back to the UK, although we now know they won't.

Now he's been called back to the UK to help his Tory colleagues in the battle against the Socialist enemy, the outrageous left winger. the weird, isolated, irresponsible, enemy of the people Jeremy Corbyn - the man oddly elected just last year to the post of leader of the Labour Party with - what? - 150,000 votes. Hated by his MPs. I have to ask: if Corbyn is that bad, why are the Tories massed against him?

Boris was described tonight on Sky news as an 'attack dog.' No, he's not. He isn't one who hides his light under a bushel. There is no bushel. He's just thick. Any day now, he'll be gone from politics.
