Mikey Ancram in comeback tour.
Sir Michael Ancram, now safely eliminated from the contest to lead the obscure Conservative cult, has confirmed his wish to return to public life.

"I realise now that a life of total obscurity is not for me" the Scottish aristo conceded.  "I intend now to explore new musical directions and will be going back on the road."
