With apologies to EJ Thribb

Update, November 2023: Sadly, Minister Scully did not get to do much, if any, levelling-up as Minister of State at the DLUHC, as in October 2022 he was demoted back to Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State and moved to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport. In February 2023 he was shunted to the newly-created Department for Science, Innovation and Technology. And on 13 November he was finally given what he calls “the Spanish Archer” by Rishi Sunak.

Further update: On 4 March 2024, Mr Scully announced on social media that he will stand down as an MP at the coming General Election. His parting gift to politics was to assert that mainstream politicians can “work with the bell curve or become the bell-ends”. Amen to that.
