Want a good laugh? Here you go.
In Mafia parlance they are the 'made men' – mobsters who become fully initiated members of the crime families only after carrying out their first 'hit'.
The term – popularised by Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas, the Mafia blockbuster starring Robert De Niro – is starting to be applied to the underbosses of the Tory party as they watch Rishi Sunak sink to near-record lows in the polls.
As this newspaper revealed last year, the anti-Rishi intrigue initially centred on a group of so-called 'pasta plotters' associated with former Home Secretary Suella Braverman, who drew up a rebel 'grid of s**t' over dishes of ravioli in London's Theatreland.
Now, in the wake of a Budget which lived down to Tory MPs' expectations, the heavy mob are threatening to move in. One Tory MP, allied to the 'made men', says: 'So far the plotting has been pretty amateurish. But that's because the serious players haven't got involved yet.
It gets better.
Lady McAlpine told the MoS: 'The Tory party is rotten at the core. We need new Conservative values, and Boris is the person to deliver that.
'He is the only person with the charisma to lead the party to success. We need Boris back'.
The problem for all the plotters, however – and it is quite a substantial one – is that they cannot agree on a replacement for Mr Sunak if Mr Johnson is not available.
So the party is rotten to the core. It needs "new Conservative values". And the person to deliver them is a guy who has no values whatsoever?
It's Stewart Pearson's house renovation all over again. Change the paint job as much as you like, but the foundations are fundamentally fucked.
Kemi Badenoch, has fallen from favour with a speed which does not surprise her detractors.
Although undoubtedly talented and in touch with the anti-woke values of Conservative Britain, Ms Badenoch is also regarded as impulsive and erratic, with questionable people skills
Given the polling, has Kemi considered that perhaps the problem is that Conservative Britain isn't quite as big as she thinks? Anyway, here's Mad Nad:
A former Cabinet minister told the MoS that Mr Johnson offered the party's only chance to avoid annihilation. They said: 'If Boris came back for the General Election it could save as many as 80 MPs. It would give Conservatives hope, a reason to vote. If we go into an election and Boris is out in the cold, voters will simply stay at home and sit on their hands.
Again, this belief that it's anyone's fault but their own. Their sense of entitlement. The building up of the Boris myth. Fuck them all.
