At the MEGA confab in Manchester
the conurbation’s thrumming with humbug.
Bannon cannons bombast from his basement.
Farage megaphones it, cuts a rug with Priti.

Hardening arteries of reaction course with candlefire.
Queues for Dutch rubs bend round every corner.
Conning spoilers croon sweet nothings to
clapping mini-throngs in semi-empty halls.
Tufton Street hosts covert huddles in hotels.

Peers and peerettes trip the light fantastic.
Posh buffets of pasta Putinesca
fortify financial service barons.
Trays of flutes brimming remainer tears
lubricate their anthem of In Grip We Truss.
