In an effort to cut down on postage, HM Revenue & Customs have decided to move closer to where the UK's richest claim to live - the Cayman Islands and Chipping Norton.

A spokeswoman for HRMC explained: 'By having a closer proximity to the epicentre of corruption we can monitor savings more closely - but it also means the view from my office window is substantially sunnier'



Government ethics advisers have called for new, tougher targets for parliamentary behaviour.


‘Lying, cheating, awarding billion pound contracts to friends – they’re a good start’, explained a spokesman, ‘but we can do better’.


MPs must have had multiple extra-marital affairs by 2025 and have drowned a kitten (or puppy) in a canal by 2027. The serial killing rules won’t apply until 2030 to give MPs time to undertake training in Forensic Awareness, Body Disposal and Creative Use of Poisons.


‘We’re organising expensive in-service training for all 650 MPs’, said the spokesman. ‘It’s quite a step up from shagging your secretary to drowning a kitten, and then to killing three random strangers, but the current Cabinet is extraordinarily talented. We wouldn’t be surprised if a certain former minister had already jumped the gun – that’s a serial killer’s smirk if ever I saw one’.
