Alan Johnson Corpsewatch #3
First it was the Independent’s John Rentoul who said Health Secretary Alan Johnson’s dead parents gave him a biography ‘to die for’. Polly Toynbee joined the Johnson death cult by saying Johnson being made an orphan as a child contributed to ‘his perfect backstory‘.
Now it’s George Galloway, of all people, who is dragging the skeletons from Johnson’s formative cupboard:
One of the things I like about the next Labour leader (though God knows what there will be left to lead), Alan Johnson, is his background story.
He was an orphan boy brought up by his teenage sister…
If Johnson does end up Labour leader I for one hope he has the good grace to thank his parents for dying when he was so young. Our political narrative demands it.

Hollywood beckons with a story like that….
It’s still Oliver Twist meets Postman Pat though.
Oliver Twist meets Postman Pat
Oliver Postgate?
Doesn’t crossing Oliver Twist with Postman Pat give you Oliver Postgate?
Did I mention that crossing Postman Pat and Oliver Twist might result in Oliver Postgate?
On the other hand, it might just result in a Post Office that wants some more.
Most Prime Ministers lose a parent when young – many more than you would expect from their demographic.
Well, it’s hardly surprising that Galloway is a heartless shit.
