Reference :- Former Prime Minister , and national treasure , Tony Abbott has overcome the critics to keep his new appointment in the U.K .

Reference :-   Despite their conflicting ideologies , British P.M. Boris Johnson has supported Tony in his new role as trade envoy .

Thank heavens that is all sorted out , Tony .    We were sure Boris would support you , out of respect for your loyalty .  I see you have already had chats with radio host and future contender for the flat at Number 10 , Nigel Farage , which is smart thinking .

Your experience with shock jocks in Australia , like Andy Bolt and Alan Jones , has given you great insights regarding the importance of having the media on side .   Your former Chief of Staff , Peta Credlin also realizes this .  Cleverly she is continuing to run the country via her new role as a "shock jock "for Sky News . 

 As you know , she has plucked  the baton from Jonesie  , whose tragic return reminds me of the last films of Bela Lugosi , who stayed in Hollywood way past his prime .  Ken junior reckons you can't really call Peta a "shock jock " , since she is probably female . He suggests the moniker " shock frock "  , which  would work for that other femme fatale  at Sky News , Rita Panahi . You can pass that on if you like , Tony . It will add to your already impressive list of great ideas. 

I hear you don't get paid for being a trade envoy .  I guess in some respects it is the " women's work " of international diplomacy .   But remember to keep an eye out for the many gems of "insider " information that can usefully bolster a chap's share portfolio and offset any new overheads . 

Good luck with it all. 

Your comrade , Ken .
