Robin Williams had some great one liners
he said politicians should wear sponsor jackets like Nascar drivers
so we know who owns them
absolutely! it would totally expose them
so we could quickly see the people who’ll phone them
to twitch their puppet strings and loan them
hefty amounts of moolah and scratch
the bigger the sponsor the bigger the patch

he’s TOTALLY right
and I wish he was here on stage tonight
to riff on the tragic depth of their lies
acting the part in suits and ties
but underneath their slick disguise
hiding the WhatsApp group replies
the champagne dinners behind oak doors
gentlemen’s clubs with parquet floors
fat cigars and thick guffaws
about the new and complex laws
they’ll sneakily draft and bring to pass
to maximise yield but cover their arse
and awkward reforms put out to grass

THEN we’d see who wields the pen
in the cabinet rooms at Number Ten
