What it does open up, is the thought of which ABBA song best suits which political entrance..... Or exit as the case may be.....

At the next meeting of Michel Barnier and Dominic Raab in Brussels, I can see Michel entering to 'Gimme Gimme Gimme', whilst Dominic comes in to 'Whats the name of the game?'

Meanwhile, at the next Conservative leadership election, Boris Johnson steps up to the lectern to the strains of 'Take a Chance on Me', whilst at his victory speech, Jacob Rees-Mogg plays 'The Winner Takes it All'

Outside Strichen village hall, Alex Salmond, facing the press (the reporter from the Strichen Parish Newsletter) after his latest investigation cant decide whether to play 'The King has lost his Crown' from the Voulez Vouz album, 'She's my type of Girl' from Ring Ring, or 'When I Kissed the Teacher'. Though what those teachers were doing in Bute House in 2013 is not clear - Probably being briefed (or debriefed?!) on the latest SNP education policies.

And at the next SNP conference, Wee Krankie unveils plans for Indyref2, to the backdrop of 'On and On and On' (and on and on and on and on and on and on and on..........), before Ruth Davidson gets a hold of the PA system, and replaces it with 'Move On' from 'ABBA - The Album'. At the end of the SNP conference, 'Our last summer' plays them out.

Meanwhile, at the UKIP conference, Nigel is introduced as the new leader to the strains of 'I have a Dream', whilst at Labour HQ, Jeremy Corbyn tenders his resignation accomanied by 'Why did it have to be me?'

Over in Northern Ireland, Arlene Foster attempts to play down an explosive news story, whilst some wily journalist plays 'Me and Bobby and Bobbys Brother' from the 'Ring Ring' album.

Back in Brussels, the UK leave the building accompanied by 'So Long' from the ABBA album, to which Angela Merkel cues up on her MP3 player - 'SOS'

Outside 10 Downing Street, PM Farage shimmies out the famous black door to 'When all is said and done', whilst ex PM, Theresa May, heads down the street, Gordon Brown style to 'Disillusion', from the 'Ring Ring' album

Then I woke up and realised that that 'I'd had a Dream'.......

  • That gave me a laugh, thanks.
