‘Over the summer, I have had time to reflect and consider my future. I have decided to stand down as MP for Holborn and St Pancras and hand over to a successor.  I did complain about the unnecessary costs of a by-election in Makerfield and an election for a new Manchester mayor, but now I get it.  I’m out of here, suckers.


‘It’s been an honour and privilege to serve the constituency, but the job is thankless and underpaid.  I didn’t get into politics to deal with the first world problems of entitled nouveau riche arrivistes who only want to score political points rather than dealing with any real world issues.  I’ll be glad to get away from them and do something useful for a change.  I’m open to offers from any international bodies, except the Board of Peace and FIFA.


“I look back with pride on what I have delivered in Holborn and St Pancras since 2015, including those new litter bins, and my infamous war on dog do.


“I took my Party from the ruins, won an historic landslide election, fixed the economy, cured cancer, got rid of poverty, and eliminated NHS waiting lists.  And I cut VAT on summer attractions.  These are achievements of which I will always be proud.


‘Finally, I’d like to say a couple of words about Donald Trump.


‘Toss pot.’

Andy Burnham today repeated his denial to reporters that he was not embarrassed by the message exchange with someone purporting to be the chief of staff for US President Donald Trump.


'I repeat that I am not embarrassed by the exchange of messages with a person purporting to be US President Donald Trump's chief of staff,' stated the Prime Minister.  'But I can assure you - once again - that no information was passed to this individual.  This is a hazard of the job, it goes with the territory and while hoax calls and messages have happened before, especially to my predecessors, my staff have taken great steps to ensure that situations like this will not occur again.  Now, I think we should draw a line underneath the whole...'


At that, a mobile phone ringtone of Go West's King of Wishful Thinking sounded.


'Excuse me,' said the Prime Minister, 'I have to take this.  Ah, Lord Lucan!  Thank you for calling me back, it's good to hear from you again.'

Anticipating that brown envelopes full of cash may dry up once he is ejected from No. 10, Boris Johnson is working with computer game developers on something new and original.


Tory intern Henry Hootington-Hurst said 'Your character is Prime Minister and faces serious real-world challenges. However you get points for charging around causing chaos, partying, getting laid and lining the pockets of you and your mates.'


Game developer Luke Lyle said 'I renamed Untitled Goose Game, and took their money.'


Hootington-Hurst continued 'Turns out, we've changed one letter from an existing game. Now an 'E' instead of a 'U'. Suella Braverman's legal view is that it's all the EU's fault anyway. Anyone who says otherwise is an enemy of the people.'


Lyle did not anticipate an enquiry into the money spent. 'What are the Tories going to do? Track and Trace me?'
