What happened to the previous incumbent?

I guess Bobs staff are abandoning the sinking ship, and sourcing new jobs, before BBQ Bob is kicked out on his derrière at the next general election.

The advert has it’s tongue stuck so firmly in its cheek, I’m surprised the author hasn’t had to have it removed surgically.”The fun doesn’t stop there!”

A bucket of sick wouldn’t be any worse than our current MP.
