Spectator competition winners: Tory leadership acrostics

In Competition No. 3262, you were invited to submit a poem on behalf of Rishi Sunak or Liz Truss in which they set out their stall, the first letters of each line inadvertently spelling out an inappropriate word or phrase. As the Tory leadership contest limps towards its conclusion, you crafted some muscular last-minute pitches on behalf of the two hopefuls. The winners below snaffle £25 each.

Look! I’m the face the country needs! You’ve seen the photos – loads! – they’re great! In every one I’m She-Who-Leads Negotiating for the State!  Grand deals! Delivered round the world! My Cheddar cheese! What triumph! God! You wait! Just watch my plans unfurled! Whack Civil Service pay! How odd –  And in the North! Did I say that? You shouldn’t trust the media lies. They twist my words! They like a spat! Oh Brexit! What a dazzling prize!  All taxes cut immediately! What Boris started I’ll maintain! I’m wedded to his legacy! No Nolan guff! The same again! D.A. Prince

Goal one is slash the taxes, after tackling our inflation, On top of that, tough crackdowns on illegal immigration, Since we must watch our pennies, and in view of what is spent, Have corporation tax increase to 25 per cent, I’ll look at offshore wind turbines, cut bills for energy, Maintain our defence spending; two per cent of GDP, Fiscally, financially, I’m with the common man, I’ll show support for households with my budgetary plan, Look into planet mindfulness, emissions down to none, Take ethical advisers, choose an independent one, Have public sector pay deals picked by bodies well selected, Your income tax I’ve pledged to cut the second I’m elected, Rishi’s ready now to rule; though bills are astronomic, I’ll steer us through the stormy winds of troubles economic, Cost-effective outcomes are my mantra and my reed, Humble as my life has been, I’m just the one to lead.
