A thread for contrived and otherwise feeble one-liners used by politicians and talking heads keen to get themselves in the press.

Permit me to launch with this:

Quote:
Speaking about the arrangements with Starbucks, the Conservative MP Richard Bacon said: "It smells – and it doesn't smell of coffee. It smells bad."

A play on words so terrible that he has to explain it afterwards.

Whenever I see his name I think of the inept, annoying speed-freak former Blue Peter presenter.

Well Richard Bacon MP has got two out of the three qualifications covered.

He's actually been quite good on tax avoidance, to be fair.
