A Westminster based ring has complained about the severe lack of hats being thrown into it, it has been confirmed.
Ringo Tsar, 35, a 24-inch diameter composite metal ring with silver plating cut a dejected figure outside 10 Downing Street this afternoon, as it became increasingly clear that there were unlikely to be a procession of head-covering objects being thrust in his general direction.
'Times have never been as tough in this game as they are now', noted Tsar sadly. 'When a PM resigns there's usually plenty of hats being thrown in. When Johnson left, there were more hats than you could throw a shitty stick at. Same with Theresa May - it was like that scene in The Thomas Crowne Affair where there are hundreds of Pierce Brosnan's wandering around an art gallery in black bowler hats.'
'Even in 2008, when Tony Blair resigned and Gordon Brown was nailed on more than Jesus on Good Friday, John McDonnell took off his Che Guevara style beret and tossed it into me to generate a bit of a leadership contest', continued Ringo.
'Not this time, seemingly. Keir Starmer steps down, and its just Andy Burnham, sombrely placing his slightly left of centre, man of the people cap in, and everyone else bloody well steps aside.'
'To be honest, I might throw my own hat out of myself, or would I throw myself off of any hats I have inside me, I don't know. Anyway, I resign', concluded the ring confusedly. '
