Nige shows Racist of the Week frontrunner his forgiving side
The Guardian
|October 28, 2025
It's the hottest competition in Westminster.
The new accolade some MPs will do anything to win. It's Racist of the Week. To Robert Jenrick's intense annoyance, the Tory whip Katie Lam won it at a canter last week.
Chin up, Honest Bob. Your time will come again, though probably not just yet. It may be early in the week, but the Reform MP Sarah Pochin has already stretched out a commanding lead. It will take an immense effort now to knock Nurse Ratched into second place.
Weirdly, it always seems to be those who complain the loudest about how you can’t say anything these days who find a way to let everyone know how they feel. It’s almost as though they do protest too much. Poor Sarah. Think how she suffers. Imagine the things she might come up with if only she didn’t have to hold herself back. She is just too good for such a cruel world.
