We don’t have to make George Osborne look ridiculous – he always does.

Here’s the first question, to give you a taste:

Q. How well do I know George Osborne’s face?
A. Well enough to know that I wouldn’t get tired of slapping it. I’d have a bucket of iced water on hand to cool off my hands.
Forget his double chin, look at that miniature backside on the tip of his nose.
I know it rather well Mike; I play darts with his picture every day.

It was Disraeli that said it of Peel and it was a silver plate.
