Penny Dreadful

Although it is mostly a Conservative thing while quite possibly definitive of the Liberal Democrats, it is a feature of all three main parties in England and all four in Scotland, and likely to become vastly more so with the impending Labour parliamentary intake.

I refer to the elevation of abysmal women politicians who were the objects of weird erotic crushes on the part of men whose formative sexual experiences had been with other teenage boys, or with deeply dodgy middle-aged men, or with both.

We all know the archetype. The lady's not for turning, indeed. In this time, step forward, Penny Mordaunt. And then step back. As far back as possible. But there will be another one. There is always another one.
