Tory Talk - "Maybe we should recall Boris?"
"Actually - he's the best of a bad lot" Jacob Rees-Mogg
Somewhere in Whitehall the Tories are holding an emergency meeting.
A page enters the empty House and gently wakes the current Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, Jacob Rees-Mogg from his mid-morning nap on the front bench.
The page informs Rees-Mogg that the caucus needs his opinion on a matter of great import, and asks if he would mind joining them in the secret cabinet board room in Whitehall.
He stretches, rises to his seldom used feet, and hops on the back of the page’s scooter.
He arrives to find most of the cabinet gathered around a large oak table. Next to it is a whiteboard with a myriad of names, including most of the current cabinet. All but one of the names have a large red ‘X’ through them. That name - Boris Johnson.
Jacob stares at the board momentarily and wipes the sleep from his eyes.
“Why the feck did you wake me for this? Seems that you have already chosen correctly. Tell Liz to call him, ask if he’ll forgive them, and then offer him his old job. Now, do you have a back room with a cot in here?”
“Oh, by way, some brave soul is going to have to explain this to Larry the No 10 cat. He is going to be so pissed.”
