Nothing here to get the media into a froth then, but maybe I've missed something.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 10th January 2017True enough, Heydon Prowse and Jolyon Rubinstein aren't always funny. However, you can't deny that they fully throw themselves into their satirical interactions (as their pal Grant Shapps might concede). Getting stuck into some city gents and ladies as Labour canvassers has its moments. And their chutzpah as they waltz into a BHS and command staff to sell stock, so Philip Green can have a "truly bedazzling" fourth yacht, is an impressively off-kilter caper.
