Inspired by a post by LadyLeftfieldLover on the D-Day thread, can we come up with some collective nouns for many unpopular senior politicians losing?

I’ve put this in Chat, not News and Politics, in the hopes it’ll be witty but good-natured.

Maybe a Tree, or, optimstically, a Forest (since it was a Twigg that started it all)

I can't think of a name but I remember vividly that night. A group of us stayed up to await Portillo's result. We were so happy!

Enjoying his TV series now. 🙂
