Holding the Centre Ground

Summary


Beside tinsel and fairy lights on the back wall, a montage of ministers' pictures shows that David Cameron is PM, but with a tiny majority of three. "Happiness is the sight of one's constituency slowly disappearing in the rearview mirror," opines Alastair, pouring the new bug a glass of bubbly, before putting him on the rack about a vote that night. A supporting cast, led by the dutiful Palace flunkey (deliciously played by Alister Cameron) pitted against the PM's iconoclastic adviser (Caroline Loncq), provides much of the laughs, as do plans for the funeral which, as befits a "modern monarchy", will feature music from the Arctic Monkeys.
