Andy Burnham already tieless


It took Keir Starmer a whole year to realise that undoing his top button is all it takes to be a great Prime Minister. Burnham has wasted no time in identifying dad jeans as the quickest route to solving the UK’s debt crisis. His entire economic strategy fits on a Post-it note: "Wear rectangular glasses. Look concerned. Repeat."


Officials estimate that if sleeve-rolling generated electricity, the country would achieve energy independence within the week. Burnham’s approval ratings rise sharply whenever cameras capture him looking thoughtfully at infrastructure he has no intention of fixing. And his vision of leadership is to look exactly like an ordinary Joe arriving to solve a crisis, then quietly blending into the crowd before any work starts.


Every policy proposal is subjected to a rigorous three-stage review: Could it work? Might it help? Better not risk it. The new PM insists that all sleeves must be rolled up - literally, not metaphorically. And that black shirts are slimming, as is the austerity he will be continuing.

Farage experiments with deerstalker


Celebrity gold enthusiast and part-time politician Nigel Farage has added a deerstalker and magnifying glass to his selection of weird costumes. The sartorial switch comes after Farage appointed himself as ‘consulting detective’ on the Ann Widdecombe case.


‘We can’t trust the police, that’s obvious’ said a supporter. ‘They’re biased against white people. Only Nigel can bring the objectivity needed to find the black or brown person who committed this terrible crime’.


The tragic murder of an old woman couldn’t have come at a better time for Farage, briefly displacing a talking bin in the news cycle. It isn’t clear who will play Watson to his Holmes – Lee Anderson has the imbecilic naivete but not the social class, Sarah Pochin is a woman and Zia Yusuf  - well, let’s leave it there, shall we? Robert Jenrick auditioned for the role but got distracted by a passing ice cream van and was last seen chasing it while painting over the cartoon characters.


If Farage succeeds in catching the killer he may face a dilemma – fight crime or remain leader of Reform? There’s an obvious conflict of interest.

Nursery rhyme extremists mock frog faced man

Hardcore Reform supporters have reacted with outrage after woke nursery-rhyme extremists hijacked London Bridge Is Falling Down to mock Nigel Farage.


Long regarded by the Right as an authoritative account of Britain’s decline, the song has traditionally been interpreted as a warning about immigration, multiculturalism and suspiciously overcrowded rental properties.


But left-wing activists have now begun circulating an alternative version online:


Nigel Farage has no shame.

Has no shame.

Has no shame.

Nigel Farage has no shame.

No Shame Nigel.


Replace him with Count Binface.

Count Binface.

Count Binface.

Replace him with Count Binface.

No Shame Nigel.


Cheer him up with five million pounds.

Five million pounds.

Five million pounds.

Cheer him up with five million pounds.

But don’t declare it.


A Reform spokesman condemned the lyrics.


“This is completely unacceptable. They’ve deliberately written something that’s catchy, memorable and critical of our leader. That’s our thing.


“You can’t simply steal another movement’s tradition of reducing complicated political issues to something that can be shouted by toddlers in under ten seconds.


“Today it’s London Bridge. Tomorrow it’ll be Baa Baa Black Sheep. Before you know it they’ll have The Wheels on the Bus demanding proportional representation.


“If we allow this sort of thing to continue, they’ll soon have If You’re Happy and You Know It, Blame a Migrant, Humpty Dumpty Wants His Country Back, and dozens of other nursery rhymes spreading simplistic political messages. Frankly, we should have thought of them first.”
