Gordon the Big Grin Engine faces almost certain derailment at Thursday's Crewe and Nantwich by-election.
Not even the farce of Labour hereditary candidate Tamsin Dunwoody accusing cobbler's son Tinson of being a Tory "Toff" has taken focus away from the 10p tax shambles and Government lack of direction.

Not surprising when you consider that the Big Grin is the only man in Britain who believes today's industry structure is fit for purpose.
