Police are appealing for witnesses after three foreign looking men dripping in gold and smelling like a whore's boudoir turned up unannounced on Christmas Eve at a boutique barn conversion hotel that has just received a scathing one-star review on TripAdvisor.  'We think these three wise-guys are probably undocumented illegal immigrants,' said a police spokesman today, noting they were dusky skinned and wore 'long frocks'.  Locals complained that 'travellers' were also a frequent cause of trouble in the area, with local young farmers also dragging the area down instead of working their farms, tending their sheep by night and complaining about the EU subsidies they lost when they voted Brexit.  'We can just about tolerate them bringing their livestock to the local hotels, but always voting Tory?' complained an onlooker.


The hotel has been the centre of attention recently, with at least one baby being born without medical aid amid claims it was a virgin birth.  It has been noted that a virgin birth is as unlikely as a virgin, full stop, in the locality, but is way more plausible than any claim by Lee Anderson.  NHS cuts and ambulances stuck at A&E are thought to be the reason for the birth occurring without medical assistance and local gossip about angels probably refer to off-duty nurses providing advice and help.  Local Authority officials are considering closing down the facility after livestock was found to be wandering around and considered that to be unhealthy given the newborn child, unprovable alleged virgin birth and a pile of Christmas presents containing substances regarded as 'suspicious' in the hotel.


'To be fair, we also expected donkeys,' said a police spokesman, 'but it is Christmas recess at Westminster.'

A pair of upper class YouTube stars are being hailed as heroes after devising an ingenious method for money saving during a time of financial instability for many families. Coining it ‘LowWaitrose’, their suggestion is that struggling households can save important pennies by limiting how much they shop at Waitrose supermarkets. In a new video the pair described this trick with their distinctly Etonian accents:


‘It’s a universal feeling to enjoy a good Waitrose shop, but we actually saved money by getting our groceries from places other than Waitrose - a huge life hack I’m not sure many families are aware of. It will still be there for your essential grocery items, like a Duck Parfait or Truffle Oil, but we think limiting your Waitrose exposure could really make a dent in this cost of living crisis. We even came across this niche German supermarket called Lidl and let me tell you the mini-pizzas are sublime.’


The online stars then went on to describe how even though they personally didn’t need to change their shopping habits, they understand how many people are affected by the soaring food prices.


‘While we can more than afford to get a Waitrose Finest Bronze Turkey on a regular basis, we understand how for so many people that dream has become really difficult. You should really be in the loop about a place called Sainsbury’s, even though you might not find us shopping there.’


On social media the YouTubers hinted that in their next video they would be tackling the NHS waiting lists by using Private Healthcare.

The BBC was left with egg on its face today as it emerged that, due to a mislabelling error, footage purportedly showing the chaos in a recently bombed hospital in Gaza was actually filmed in Basingstoke Hospital’s A&E department last winter.


“It looked just like a war zone,” protested the embarrassed reporter. “It was so overcrowded, people were lying on the ground waiting for a space on a trolley to open up. And everyone was covered in dust as if a bomb had gone off, though that turned out to be from RAAC concrete being removed in the next room.


”Though I suppose the number of people walking around with clipboards without interacting with patients or doing anything useful should have been a clue it was the NHS.”


Israel immediately issued a statement saying it had not bombed the Hampshire hospital, though it wasn’t ruling out anything that might pressure the BBC to make its coverage more favourable.
