Sharma joins the ranks of MPs who’ve shamed themselves over football
Alok Sharma: this is the only image I have of him and he’s not worth the bother of making another.
Why do they do it?
MPs – especially Tory MPs – seem to think they have to pretend to be “of the people” – and that the best way to establish this pretence is by saying they like, follow and support their local football teams – even though they don’t.
David Cameron tried it and got the name of his team wrong.
Now Alok Sharma:

It was bad enough he tried to cover up Boris Johnson’s “no deal” Brexit by calling it an “Australia-style” deal in the same interview.
This blew any credibility he had left.
Why does the Government still allow Alok Sharma out in public? He seems incapable of answering a single question, including which Division his football team is in.

Sharma’s answer is very reminiscent of Father Jack’s standard reply to the Bishop’s questions, which was drummed into him by Father Ted: “That would be an ecumenical matter”. It worked!
