Ensured a catastrophic election result,
A thumping majority for Boris’s cult,
And Iain Duncan Smith’s got a knighthood.<\/p>\n
Of Parliament’s ingrained gig-hegemony,
Members be branded the blue mob’s enemy,
And Iain Duncan Smith’s got a knighthood.<\/p>\n
The disabled damned to more brutal assessments,
Food bank queues lengthening, parks filled with tents,
But Iain Duncan Smith’s got a knighthood.<\/p>\n
Be hungering for knowledge not scavenging bins
To nibble at apple cores like waifs from Dickens,
Whilst Iain Duncan Smith’s got a knighthood.<\/p>\n
Parents on fasts so their kids get the gruel,
Universal Credit’s architecture’s still cruel,
But Iain Duncan Smith’s got a knighthood.<\/p>\n
