A double agent for both MI5 and MI6 has confirmed that Noleg Farageov is a sweet, sweet play to con Russia into believing they've installed another Boris in Londongrad.


'Listen very carefully, I will say this only three times,' explained agent Uvve Doubléé (probably not his real name).


'After Boris The-Clearly-Not-Russian Alexander-The-Great Johnski dismantled British sovereignty, we had Putin right where we wanted him. Luzzia Trussalev did not quite finish off the UK, so it will now be the turn of Noleg Farageov.


'The most important part of the plan is that as much damage as possible is done to Britain, so that Vladimir and his inner circle do not suspect a thing. Then, at the critical moment when he least expects, we will reveal that we knew what he was doing all along by feeding him disinformation about whether or not we knew.


'We will then laugh at Putin and his ex-KGB Comrades and how we carefully played them, outwitted them, and deviously duped them all for so many years. It will be the greatest win for intelligence in history.'


'It is a high level strategy codenamed Bletchley, developed during the Second World War to throw Hitler off the scent by letting the Nazis destroy everything we had. It was very clever because we had in reality decoded the Enigma machine, and all along he never suspected.


'The Turing Test was used again in 1950s America. Unfortunately, that developed into a quadruple bluff when McCarthy tarnished America's finest patriotic minds as Communists, doing Russia a huge favour.


'But we have come a long way since then. Farageov is the perfect triple agent because he has no idea he is actually working on the side of the British. Once he has become Prime Minister and completely destroyed Britain, it is then that we will strike to maximise the uber-Machiavellian plot to humiliate Putin.'





Some say, our heroic lawmaker lawbreaker lawpisstaker Prime Minister Boris Johnson has earned the respect of a grateful nation. Never have so many owed so much to so few, as millions of the middle classes plummet into debt to a handful of fabulous, opulently wealthy owners of fast track VIP lane companies.


Despite not doing everything he couldn't think of, it proved sinew straining to cull the destitute. But thank you, our uber-Churchillian leader, for accomplishing the pandemic kill off of the old, and the disabled, and the foreign, and the poor. 180,000 is a glorious achievement, and we salute you with the two fingers of glory.


But wait, Sir Boris did say he was absolutely definitely staying, so is another one of his trademark u-turns on his u-turns still on the cards? We certainly hope so, as the joy of fracking is once again invited to the table and mounted firmly on it. What Britain needs now more than anything is a damn good fracking.


Snowflakes melting in the lovely temperatures Lord Boris has brought to our yellow and pleasant land no longer have the energy to complain about Brexit. It has been such a great success, that we eagerly await the oven ready plan to Get Brexit Redone. There is certainly a nice preparatory browning on the surface, and the aroma is delightful.


Big Dog was not an international trade descriptions violation and we will have none of the Plump Pooch rebranding requirements, thank you very much. Listen here, foreigners: Emperor Boris is responsible for a very special tranche of patriotism called National Shame.

With hosepipe bans in place and others on the way across the UK as the country experiences drought conditions. Those who don’t comply could face fines of up to £1,000.


In line with Downing Street’s adherence to other laws and regulations, water will be pumping out of Number 10’s hosepipes as long as a ban is in place.


'Yeah, fuck all that,' said Boris Johnson, who turned on seven hosepipes and three sprinkler systems at Number 10 before buggering off on holiday.


'All the Downing Street aides are thrilled because I’ve told them to have at it with the paddling pool. And the household staff are under strict instructions to water all the plants with a hose every single day – even the indoor ones.


“The Downing Street garden will be turned into a swamp while the rest of the country burns – if you’ve got a problem with that, call the fucking pigs!


“Oh, you don’t need to because they’re already posted on the front door. And guess what? They don’t give a shit.


'If you think I’ve behaved inappropriately then get Sue Gray to conduct an investigation. I’ll be long gone by the time she’s finished and I’ll just be able to claim that Liz Truss flooded the premises while trying to make ice cubes. Admit it - that’s totally believable.'


Former Chancellor Rishi Sunak said, “This is exactly the sort of unethical behaviour that forced me to resign. Still, we don’t have to worry about all that now.”


With that, he reached for a hosepipe and added some water to his whiskey.
