Which Westminster political nickname is your absolute favourite?
British politics loves a good nickname, from affectionate to downright savage. Which one tickles you the most?
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Bojo
Boris Johnson's nickname stuck like marmite on toast. Love him or loathe him, it's instantly recognisable.
B
Two Jags
A classic dig at the former Deputy PM's ministerial motors. Proof that British political nicknames can be brilliantly petty.
C
The Iron Lady
Originally meant as an insult by a Soviet journalist, Thatcher wore it like armour. Now arguably the most famous political nickname ever.
D
Sir Keir Starmer-geddon
Critics love mocking Starmer's lawyerly vibe with various spins on his name. Not catchy, but persistent.
E
Gordon the Moron
Tabloid nicknames don't get more unkind than this swipe at Gordon Brown. Pure British political theatre.
