Frankie Boyle’s takedown of Theresa May and her leadership rivals will make your day better

Frankie Boyle’s back in the Guardian, this time with a devastating takedown of Theresa May and her leadership rivals.

Click here to read the whole thing, but before you do, here’s a taster.

“Perhaps the next leader will be Boris Johnson, a man who sees genocide as the first stage of a planning application. Boris, a malevolent baked Alaska, is living out in public the great dramatic sweep of a life that asks what if a hero, instead of a single tragic flaw, had all of them.

“Or perhaps it will be David Davis, a man who seems to suffer from the same lack of imagination as his parents.

“Or Jacob Rees-Mogg (a man who has taken the phrase “stalking horse” rather too anthropomorphically), who, when he’s not on the run from Westworld: Victorian Britain, seems to be one of those people who flicks through the Old Testament looking for the sexy bits. Rees-Mogg’s wife has phenomenal personal wealth of her own. Not sure where she got it, presumably by marrying him for a bet.

“Or maybe Philip Hammond, a man who could send a wooden leg to sleep, a haunted suit with all the personal magnetism of Paul Scholes’s accountant, glimpsed through a fog.

“A good outside bet is Ruth Davidson, Boris Johnson in negative. Davidson seems quite cheerful for a British person, but by Scottish standards she’s pretty much Santa Claus.”

Here’s the full piece in today’s Guardian.

And here’s another memorable Frankie Boyle takedown of our so-called prime minister.
