He falls in love with the leader of the opposition party but she falls in love with Coco the Clown without knowing that he is in fact John Major, the Prime Minister.
 

Bad News

Hunt for Tony Blair 

This 'Fifties Fugitive' movie, a clever pastiche of monochrome British B films,opens with the police arriving to arrest prime minister Tony Blair for murder - well, he did allow himself to be abducted by a thug called George Bush and collude in murdering a bunch of Afghans. Aided by Barbara Windsor, Blair goes on the run but none of his peers will give him sanctuary.
