And even though I was such an abomination that I was sacked from not one but two ministerial posts, I still knew enough about the establishment, so they gave me a knighthood… which was nice

On this day in 2016, Caroline Aherne sadly died at the age of just 52. Caroline’s comedy legacy is remarkable and includes The Mrs Merton Show, The Royle Family and #TheFastShow .Here’s one of my all time favourite comedy sketches; Roy and Renée (Turkey)

And even though I was turfed out of the job after just 45 days because I was in way over my head, I still get paid £115k of taxpayers money every year for the rest of my life… which was nice

RIP Tim Brooke-Taylor - one of the original writers/performers of The Four Yorkshiremen. Subsequently embellished over the years by the Pythons, it remains one of the greatest ever sketches in [British] comedy. Here’s an edited (2:20min) version but brilliant nonetheless

I recently mentioned that I wondered whether to tweet anything this week, given the pandemic but took the view that people need a laugh now more than ever. I’ve never sought to offend or make light of the seriousness of it all, I only hoped to add a little levity to the crisis.

The 13th Duke of Wybourne was essentially an exaggerated, satirical parody of the old school British bounder/cad. I’m almost certain that had it not been for Leslie Phillips (and Terry Thomas) he’d have probably never existed. Leslie was one of the greats. Ding Dong. RIP

Sir Geoffrey Norman MP was a satirical character who specialised in political-speak and excelled at ‘denying anything and everything’. He was also arrogant, entitled and believed that ‘the rules’ didn’t apply to him. Oh, how life imitates art.#PMQs .#downingstreetparty
