A baying pack of journalists and BBC reporters has already started off in pursuit of Mr. McCluskey.

The government has announced that a Two Minute Hate would be held in Parliament to allow all party leaders and MPs to vilify the new Bogeyman.

Mr. McCluskey  said he was enormously excited and looking forward to his new role.
