“It was all there where I left it. I even wrote a little note that said, “Here is a lot of money”. It really is terribly worrying that this inexperienced chancellor, whoever his name is, has lost it all. When I left, fully expecting to return after a massive Tory election win, I thought I would carry on with all my good work. There was a total absence of economic black holes at that point, my plan was to lower taxes and give gift vouchers to everyone. Weird.”


He then tutted and shook his head. “I mean to lose all that money in such a short period of time is terrible, I think they may have pulled a full Truss so to speak”, an aide then whispered something in his ear, and he then muttered, “She was on our side?”




Following the discovery of a black hole at the Treasury by Chancellor Rachel Reeves, the James Webb Space Telescope has now been repositioned in an effort to study this fiscal phenomenon more closely.


N.A.S.A. spokesperson Jane Franklyn told us, “This is the telescope that discovered CEERS 1019, a supermassive black hole that existed just over 570 million years after the big bang. Now we are focussed on 1 HORSEGUARDS ROAD and another black hole formed some 38 years after the financial market deregulation big bang. See what I did there?”


However, early investigations have proved contradictory. “We are not getting consistent results” explained Jane. “We are trying to view this from all sides of the spectrum and from the blue side you might almost be tempted to think there was nothing there at all. However, when we shift towards infrared there it is in all its glory, a nebulous political anomaly, requiring immediate remedial action, such as cooling down millions of older bodies over the coming months.”


When asked how much longer the telescope might be utilised in this way, Ms Franklyn told us they were already pointing it back out into the Universe. “We find that Earthly peculiarities usually end up being a waste of our resources. After all, we never did discover which planet Donald Trump is on.”
