In yet another twist to the Downing Street Parties Saga, it has been confirmed that Sue Gray has enlisted the help of the gang from Hanna Barbera's popular 1960s' cartoon series, Scooby Doo.


In an interview with the BBC, Ms Gray has admitted that she has recruited the high school sleuths to help in what is proving to be a perplexing mystery.


She told the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg, “The gang is ideal for this type of investigation. Fred has been building ghost traps all over the Downing Street garden, Velma has been on her hands and knees, looking for her glasses in a maze of corridors, Daphne has been kidnapped by Old Man Rees Mogg and Shaggy and Scooby have been eating all of the hors d'oeuvres and canapes from an old abandoned snack mine they discovered below the Downing Street cellars.”


Ms Gray continued, “We are quite sure that we will find out who instigated all of these parties."


So far she is remaining tight-lipped, but one of the main suspects is said to be Old Man Corbyn from the old, disused Opposition front benches.

Brian Irving, from Ilford, has claimed victory in an ongoing dispute with his Building Society.  He claimed they needed to let him own his house outright and give him the right to live in his own home.  The Building Society has consistently claimed he had these rights, but Brian has threatened to use the full strength of the law to ensure he could do this, and insinuated he would use force if his wishes weren't granted.  'I need full access to my home, for my family's security,' he said today.


Today the Building Society have emailed Brian with a comprehensive admission that he and his family could live in his house without any interference from them.  Brian claims he is vindicated and that 'Trump could learn a thing or two from me'.


A spokesman for the Building Society stated there was never any dispute from their end, and that Brian had paid off his mortgage two years ago anyway.  'He just kept calling us out on social media so we sent him a confirmatory email,' the spokesman said, shrugging.


'Next I'm going to exert my right to live anywhere I like in South America,' said Brian.
