The Speaker’s New Portrait

There’s a lot being said about the Speaker’s new coat of arms, a mere £17,000.

However there is also a portrait for another £22,000 , this may seem excessive, but is actually quite reasonable as I happen to know this was the second portrait commissioned after the first was rejected for reasons unknown.

I  know it’s a cheap shot, it’s not big or clever. But then again neither is he.

That made me snort whisky through my nose. Do you have any idea how painful that is?

It was worth it though.

I love that joke about small people disappearing off the bottom edge of their own portraits. It's so sophisticated.

The world is full of "Whores and Comic Hall Singers" I'm still trying to work out which one he is.
