I did enjoy Brenda Tomblin’s letter yesterday (November 21)

I had similar thoughts about our Richard’s appearance. I thought he might have got a contact number for Vladimir Putin’s beauty consultant – we’ll have to watch developments.

The next time we see him perhaps he’ll be cantering along the Ridgeway, bareback and bare-chested, or on Pulpit Rock, having just wrestled a major haddock out of the race with his bare hands.

Only joking. I really knew it was Richard Drax. Who else could it have been? What other politician in the western world, outside of Trumpland, could produce an election address in the year 2019 which nowhere contains the words ‘environment’, ‘climate’, and ‘privatisation’?

What planet?
