What has become of Carrie Johnson? No need, yet, to ask for proof of life – she has been spotted, it’s a relief to report, in a number of theme parks – but Mrs Johnson’s admirers, having learned to recognise her as a national asset, must be feeling accordingly bereft, even with the couple’s terrier stepping forward as a substitute.
True, Dilyn is photogenic, appeals across demographics, and seemed to pull less than Carrie, earlier this month, when summoned by his master to the polling station. Alas, it’s hard to picture him retweeting Mr Johnson’s supposed achievements, including his most unspeakable videos: also key to the modern Conservative consort’s job. Something for one of the newer poodle crossbreeds?
