Health Secretary Wes Streeting insisted he only spent 20 minutes with the Prime Minister at Downing Street yesterday morning because he needed to take a dump.


Streeting said the impromptu call was a result of a particularly spicy prawn jalfrezi that had triggered a violent bowel movement soon after leaving the house.


‘Me and a couple of mates stopped off for a few beers on the way home from work and ended up in the local curry house’ said Wes ‘…..it absolutely trashed my insides this morning. I was in the Downing Street area and decided I could just about make the downstairs toilet before soiling myself.


'I only saw Keir for a brief moment …..I had run out of toilet paper, and he passed me a roll under the door.


'On the way out I said ‘I'd give it five minutes if I were you’…..he wasn’t very pleased. I think he thought I meant five minutes before resigning, but I meant five minutes for the jalfrezi to clear.

DT: Send ground troops now. I'm not using US forces as they're too valuable. But you stupid Brits are expendable. Do it now or I'l be rude about you again, wimp.


KS: Now look here...


DT: I said now. Are you stupid? Now means now.


KS: Can I just...


DT: No you can't. Send minesweepers. S end what's left of your navy. Send sub-postmasters. Whatever. And hurry up. And tell NATO to send troops too. Dipshit.


KS: We want peace...


DT: We all want peace prizes, Quier. You ain't getting one. You don't deserve one. You haven't bombed anything. Except your own reputation.


KS: There's no call for...


DT: British boots on the ground, Keir. Now. Or I'll make the price of oil go up, and I'll make borrowing costs go up, and I'll make the price of eggs go up. Hear me, posh boy?


KS: What about...


DT: Time's up, Keir. Do what I say or there'll be big trouble. Tosser.


KS: What did you call me...?

March 2025


Back in March 2025 UK politics was still about ‘tough decisions’, with the government slashing some benefit payments, including personal independence payments (PIPs). It also scrapped NHS England because the Departnent for Health can do all of its work cheaper and better. There was an embarrassing prison escape which turned out to be less of a one-off and more of a regular thing. And three Bulgarians are found guilty of spying for Russia.


In the US, Donald Trump famously invited Voldymyr Zelenskyy to the White House, and was then extremely rude to him, with JD Vance egging him on. Donald’s well thought-through solution to the war was to give Russia large chunks of Ukraine as a down payment, until Putin could come back for the rest of the country. Donald continued to lay claim Greenland, and to moan about Mexico. Avian flu was running riot and Americans were moaning about the price of eggs. Meanwhile, on Netflix, Meghan Markle was just moaning.


In international news, beyond the things and places being messed up by the USA, the Pope was in hospital with pneumonia. Maybe that was America’s fault as well. And the BBC was criticised for serious flaws in a documentary about Gaza, prompting the usual calls for heads on sticks.
