"Aren't you sick of the moon turning red every time there's a lunar eclipse?" Reform's in-house astronomer asked an almost empty press room, while looking at journalists through the wrong end of a telescope.


"Come closer, all of you. Don't be shy. Just tell your readers this.


"If Britain votes Reform at the next election, our great leader Nigel will personally see to it that every eclipsed moon will be sky blue - Reform's party colours.


"Just text BLUEMOONLUNATICS with a Bitcoin donation to Reform party funds - and all your bank details, for our future reference.


In return, we'll send you a pair of blue-tinted spectacles and 20 ballot papers, all with crosses next to Nigel's name, for you and your friends to use next polling day.


"Vote Reform!" squawked the party astronomer, running around in small circles and flapping its wings, "because under Labour, the sky will very soon be falling on our heads."

Having seen his polling numbers tank, the PM is desperate to find any person naïve enough to vote for him. The hope is 16-17 year olds are just young enough not to know any better – or, at the very least, drunk on cheap cider. Allowing teenagers to vote is like giving cats your credit card - okay in principle, but don't complain when they eat all your food and still ignore you. Explained a close aide of Starmer: 'If we're going to conscript them, might as well let them vote.


'Besides, we've pegged the voting age to our popularity. Currently we're at 15%, but we reckon we can go so much lower.' Asked if they thought they would go lower: 'Now that I think about it, I suppose if your country is going to f$ck you, you should be over the age of consent.'
