They think it’s been legalised... it has now



Tory intern Henry Hootington-Hurst has been incredibly busy, collating the list of illegal things Boris Johnson has done, so that they can all be legalised.


'It's been hard work, but nowhere near as Torylicious as discussing with the PM the crimes he will commit in the future so we can legalise them ahead of time. It's like a reverse "Minority Report". Let me tell you, he has some wide ranging criminal appetites, some of them eye-wateringly sexual. I had to Google some of it, so I’m probably on a register now. I’ve been pulling all-nighters and occasionally vomiting on the walls, but not because of the booze this time.'


It is now illegal to be Keir Starmer whilst the only form of photo ID now acceptable for voting is a Conservative Party membership card. Burglary is legal if your MP is Labour whilst in Tory constituencies you can get various household items absolutely free, albeit second hand and with no receipts. Liberal Democrats can now be hunted with hounds, whilst an invasion of Scotland gets the green light, though to save money this will consist of seizing the - already English - town of Berwick-upon-Tweed and declaring total victory.


BoJo meanwhile has been preparing for the next Downing Street karaoke bash, busting out some Rasta sounds to perform a raunchy version of Shaggy's 'It wasn't me'. Hootington-Hurst noted 'His Jamaican lilt is, if anything, more racist than you imagine.'

The Boat Race moves to Scotland



The Tour de France will start in Scotland this year and so, for the first time, will the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race.


The Boat Race was first contested in 1829 and, to date, has always taken place on the River Thames.  But 2024 marked a new low for the race as the crews battled with their opponents - and a river full of excrement.  One rower said that he should have been awarded an Oxford Bloo.


So the boat clubs in Oxford and Cambridge have voted to race on the cleaner waters of Loch Ness in Scotland.  And, in an obscure reference to an Alan Partridge sketch, they have invited 'all the other universities' to take part as well.


A tiny cox said, 'we'll be training on haggis and scotch to help us acclimatise. And I'm expecting some really fast rowing - just in case we get a surprise appearance by Nessie.  We are encouraging our supporters to go to London anyway, as the event is not really about the rowing and more about the drinking.


‘Yard of Pimm's, anyone?'
