Wet Yvette

There was a young lady named Yvette

Who was known as a Tory wet.

She opposed all cuts

And swam in waterbutts,

Which made that Tory really quite wet!

 

(The term “Tory wet” was used during the administrations of the late Lady Thatcher to describe those on the left of the Conservative party, whilst those on the right where labelled as “dry”. The term more commonly employed today to designate those on the left of the party is “one-nation” Tories or Conservatives).
