Britain’s Parliament was thrown in to chaos yesterday when three opposition MPs, taking the opportunity of being caught on television, launched in to an impromptu application to join the next series of hit BBC 1 series How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?
Conservative spokespersons Alan Duncan, George Osbourne and Oliver Letwin brought Prime Ministers Questions to a halt with an acapella rendition of “Hello, Dolly!” (pictured), before Sir Patrick Cormack produced a snare drum and led the trio in a performance of “The very model of a modern major general” from the Pirates of Penzance.
Rumours that Greg Barker was waiting behind the Speaker’s chair dressed in fishnet stockings rehearsing “And all that jazz” from Chicago, could not be confirmed.

i wonder if mr. baker will be going with the original bob fosse choreography or rob marshall’s interpretation from the film?
Oh Fosse Fosse Fosse all the way.
I imagine there’s a role for his party leader in the same show.

I don’t care about new policies
Climate change, celebrities
Don’t mean a thing
All I care about is Dave
That’s what I’m here for
I don’t care for building railway tracks
CO2, income tax
Don’t mean a thing
All I care about is Dave
(All he cares about is Dave)
What to do:
Vote blue, get blue
Please just say “I’ll vote for you”
Make me heir to Tony Blair
But please don’t mention I’m a millionaire
I don’t care about us taxing less
Primary schools, the NHS
No, no, not me
All I care about is Dave
(All he cares about is Dave)
Show me good opinion polls
Show me that I’m on a roll
And when the papers big up DC
Forget elections, that’s enough for me
I would never cycle very far
With my workshoes coming in my car
No, no, not me
All I care about is
Getting myself in to Number Ten
Though I’ve no idea what I would do then
All I care about is Dave!
I find the reference to ‘fishnet stockings’ nasty and in poor taste.
It discredits you, and may prompt you to look in your own back yard before making such jibes.
Oh, do get a sense of humour
It wasn’t intended to be at all nasty, and in fairness the chap on the front of the Mail today is quite fit.
