Scooby Doo Gang to investigate Downing Street parties



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.

Sue Gray concludes: It's not a party without a conga line





The investigation proved that it was impossible to have a party without streamers and at least one girl crying on a staircase, mumbling something about all men are bastards. 'The gatherings that the PM and Keir Starmer attended were in no way parties. Mainly because no self respecting party would invite those two.


'For it to be considered a halfway decent party, there needs to be jelly and tequila shots. No one sung 'My Way'. And not one person chundered in the Downing Street shrubbery.


'The only feature that this has in common with a normal party, is that no one can remember any of the details'.

Greased pig outlines his two-pronged wheeze for wriggling free



Loud snorts of conceited laughter were heard through the windows of the cabinet room in Downing Street last night as the Number One greased pig of British politics described how he has managed to squirm out of trouble yet again.


"Everyone thought Bozza was for the jolly old knacker's yard," said the swine, "but just when they thought they had me in their clutches, I've wriggled free and saved my bacon."


To admiring squeals from the rest of his herd, the greased pig continued: "It was really so simple. When we were all caught partying throughout lockdown, with our snouts in the trough, I immediately submitted to an utterly rigorous, no holds barred inquiry by the fearsome Sue Gray.


"Then, just as she was about to publish her report, I phoned up that gullible old sow Cressida Dick at the Met and said: 'please immediately start an utterly rigorous, no holds barred criminal investigation.'


"The result is that the police have put the kibosh on Sue Gray saying anything remotely interesting, for fear that it might compromise a future trial. Then in three months' time, when all the fuss had died down, I'll get Dick to announce that the police have found no grounds to prosecute. And, hey presto! Good old Bozza will have landed on his trotters again, just like he always does.


"Now, who wants to try my patent pig grease? Form an orderly queue and I'll smear it on your bloated hides. You first, Priti. Then you, Nadine."
