Thanks everyone. I blame Radio 2 for playing it all last week while I was decorating.

One year ago in Downing Street
So the British tabloids say,
Stanley's Boy Child, our PM
Was planning Christmas Day.

As Covid raged they made some rules
Which filled us all with gloom
But not for them a dreary time,
They partied from room to room.

Hark now hear the British voters
Promising to obey,
'We'll stay at home, all on our own
Because of Christmas Day.'

(The Boney M bit)

Pass the canapés, pour some more wine,
Have a hug - who cares about social distancing?
And just keep schtum, don't let anyone know
Or our jobs will be on the line.

(One year on - still with Boney M)

Oh My Lord! Allegra Stratton's blown it
Oh My Lord! Now Laura Kuenssberg's on it
Oh My Lord! We're in the shit
We need a head on a plate or two.

Now Omicron is on the rise
And fills us all with dread,
We don't want rules from cheats and fools
We'll trust our judgement instead.

Hark now hear the Shropshire voters,
Listen to all of them,
'Your Tory seat is in defeat
Because we've voted Lib Dem!'
