Some on Twitter (and in the Mail editorial team) seem to have forgotten the vital role of the court jester in times of old. Speaking truth to power in a way no one else could they shone a light on the pretentiousness of those in power. That's why we definitely need them now.

This becoming PM lark is easy isn't it? If elected I will make sure everyone has good things and I'll stop bad things happening. And you can trust me to deliver because you can trust me to deliver. And everyone lived happily ever after. The end.
