Scientists today announced they’ve discovered a way to turn the factional infighting of Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana’s Your Party into a limitless source of cheap energy.


'The trouble with existing hydrogen-based fission reactors is that you have to put the material under extreme heat and pressure to make it split into its component parts,' explained Dr Bunsen Honeydew. 'So most of the energy you get out, you have to put straight back in to keep the reaction going.


'But this new material, yourpartium, is incredible - you just need a tiny amount and it gets overheated and starts splitting all by itself. In fact, some experiments suggest you just need a single atom of corbynium and one of sultanium, and fission occurs almost immediately.'


Newspaper columnists and cartoonists confirmed they also find the party a limitless source of cheap gags, often referencing the People’s Front of Judea from Monty Python’s 'Life of Brian'.


'However, it does have the same problem fission always does,' Dr Honeydew continued, 'in that it produces a rather toxic waste product - in this case, bitterness. 


'Clearly, we need to find a way of disposing of it safely. One suggestion is to combine it with the former Prince Andrew’s bitterness at losing his titles and status, and dump the whole lot out at sea.'

The creator of creation is launching a new range of even tinier subatomic particles to keep up with demand from his busy little humans.


As science regularly seeks to plumb the depths of the fabric of existence, discovering even smaller bits to quantify, the supreme being is staying one step ahead. Subatomic physicist, Professor Sharon Booth, explained: “It’s such an exciting time. We’re on the verge of a breakthrough that will give humanity a greater understanding of the building blocks of matter.”


God responded: “Building blocks, particles… blah, blah, blah. They’ll find what they want to find. If you search with a magnet, eventually you’ll find iron. Apparently, they’re using the energy input of a small country to smash tiny particles together to reveal even tinier ones. Which they will, because I created them on my lunch break yesterday.


“They’ve found so many of my little distractions lately, they’re running out of names to call them. These ones will be ‘Throbs’ or ‘Quintisquibs’ or some other bollocky name like that. Oh, and they’ll have trite qualities, like bounciness, humourousness and vulnerability.”


Professor Booth, commented: “If the results from the accelerator match our mathematical modelling we’ll be within touching distance of the mind of God.”


“Haha! I’ve a feeling I’ll be playing this little game for many a lunchtime to come,” said God.
