We’re going on a numpty hunt. A numpty or a yahoo, either one will do. We’re going to catch a big one. What a beautiful day! We’re not scared. The PM says there are numptys and yahoos in the cabinet.

We’re going to catch a big one. What a beautiful day! We’re not scared.

The PM says there are numptys and yahoos in the cabinet. Let’s take a look inside…

Winston!

Grouchy old racist old Winston.

Is he a numpty or a yahoo?

No he is not. The PM has called their relationship “cordial and professional” and based on “trust and respect”.

We can’t go around Winston. We can’t go under him. Or over him. We’re going to have to ignore him.

We’re going to catch a big one. What a beautiful day! We’re not scared.

Let’s look inside the cabinet again.

David!

Move-fast-and-break-things (and always in English) David.

Is he a numpty or a yahoo?

No he is not. Can you see what is wrapped around his little finger? It is the Prime Minister. So he can’t be a numpty, or a yahoo, can he?

We can’t go around David. We can’t go under him. Or over him. We’re going to have to ignore him.

Shane!

Butter chicken kneepads Shane.

Is he a numpty or a yahoo?

No he is not. Look at this picture:

Shane is 100% behind the PM. That’s not what a numpty or yahoo would do.

We can’t go around Shane. We can’t go under him. Or over him. We’re going to have to ignore him.

But the PM says there really are numptys and yahoos in the cabinet.

Wait! Is this one?

No, silly, that’s Chris Bishop, thinking about all the ways he can be loyal to the PM.

If only someone could tell who the numptys and yahoos were, and had the power and determination to do something about them.

But who could such a person be?

I suppose we’ll never know.
