MPs slam 'disgraced' former leader

MPs have lined up to express their anguish and anger over the fact that Sir Keir Starmer didn’t have a secret life. A recently elected representative (who wished only to be known as ‘AB’) said, 'I am deeply upset that someone who claimed to be a leader was not a serial womaniser or embezzler. I mean he didn’t have numerous affairs or parked an illegitimately gained motorhome outside number 11.

'We knew when we elected him that he seemingly didn’t have a dodgy past, had a good employment record outside of politics, and wasn’t high in the charisma stakes. Come to think about it, might be a factor in us winning a 2024 election landslide and destroying the Tory party.

'But that is all in the past. To our dismay we are now finding he is exactly what he purported to be. Boring! His only compulsive hoarding was some pencil sharpeners!! What we need is someone diametrically opposite to lead the Labour Party, and the nation, into the 22nd century!! Someone like me who is charismatic and err..... this is off the record right? '

Keir Starmer to serve popcorn for leadership election

Following his charitable visit last week serving popcorn to students in a Milton Keynes Odeon, Keir Starmer has announced he will be setting up his own popcorn stand in the corner of the Labour Party’s upcoming leadership election. ‘He really got into the swing of it, scooping it into bags and adding toppings,’ said the Downing Street Press Secretary. ‘He said it felt like the first time in two years he was doing something that mattered. So he has decided that he will continue to serve popcorn just as he has served the country - with strength, integrity and a discount deal when you buy a drink.’

A Junior Minister spoke about the upcoming event on a recent breakfast show appearance, ‘It’s going to be a tough day for him. I think he wants to stay out of the limelight, but still give back to the party he has fought for all these years, more specifically the choices of sweet, salty and toffee in medium and large sized bags.’

Following this news, there are reports that Ed Miliband is planning a rival stand serving bacon sandwiches.

Warm sunshine and lack of drizzle slows the advance of Mancunian Burnham

Keir Starmer's grip on power has proved more slippery than a Peter Mandelson background check.  Starmer has the look of a man with his own dark grey Mancunian rain cloud permanently drizzling on him - and with good reason. 

Scientists now believe that if Sir Keir was accidentally exposed to direct sunlight, he would melt faster than his own waxwork. However, a recent spell of hot weather has helped Starmer out, as the Armies of the North find UV intolerable. The sun is the natural enemy of rain-loving Mancunians, whilst The Sun is the natural enemy of Liverpudlians and journalism and basic human decency. 

Meanwhile, King Burnham has faced criticism for not articulating any actual policies beyond simply being Mayor of Manchester. A parka-wearing spokesman shook a tambourine, and sneered into his microphone, 'You could wait for a lifetime to spend your time in the sunshine...  Some might say that sunshine follows thunder. Go and tell it to the man who cannot shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine,' before adding,  'You're twisting my melons man! Heaven knows Keir Starmer's miserable now. Andy Burnham is the resurrection, and he is the light.'
