The Boris Johnson wall of protection got into gear straight away, with Johnson loyalists trying to brush off accusations of wrongdoing.

Dominic Raab did the rounds of the media, telling each interviewer pretty much the same thing – that the photo showed people working, or just after working – becuase he couldn’t quite keep his story straight.

Comedian and actor Rosie Holt put part of that recording to very good use, with this excellent parody of a Tory. There’s some slightly NSFW language and a lot of brutal satire.

That’s the full package – great writing, acting and editing. It’s no wonder it got reactions like these.

Debby Cotton had this relatable observation.

In fact, it was so indistinguishable that some people thought Rosie was the genuine article – although we’ve yet to see a Tory MP wax so lyrical about the PM’s many offspring.

Perhaps this is true.

You can follow Rosie on YouTube as well as Twitter, and if you fancy tipping her for her work, you can do that here.
