Rory who?

Article Abstract:

A change in career direction could be appropriate even if the Conservative party wins the next general election, according to satirical impressionist Rory Bremner, who has become famous through impersonating leading Conservatives over recent years. If the Labour party wins the election, he would face a severe lack of material, but he is considering taking a new approach in any case. His television series is currently highly structured, but the new trend in satire is a less structured form.
