Prime-minister, Rishi Sunak, is believed to be the prime-suspect in the brutal killing of satire.
'I'll miss satire", said a tear faced geek who spends far too long indoors. 'Obviously, I knew things were a bit dicey when Trump became president. But I never thought Rishi Sunak, of all people, would stoop this low - but obviously, he hasn't got so far to go.'
At the last statement, one of the 40 new hospitals released a statement that the body of satire had twitched.
Dominic Raab is set to take on the leading role in a new sitcom it has been announced.
‘Fawlty Powers’ will take a quirky, light-hearted look at the trials and tribulations of an allegedly aggressive, bullying, senior politician as he haplessly tries to lead a number of government departments, causing distress and long-term mental-health problems amongst the staff that he manages.
‘This role is made for Raaby to come and do that whole micro-aggressive, offensive, bullying shtick that we know and love’, said one government insider. ‘At least I think ‘offensive, bullying shtick’ was what a civil servant said about him in the corridor this morning.’
‘In the trailer for the first episode Dom comes in to a meeting and hilariously belittles a group of civil-servants, swearing profusely, and is generally a total twat, causing a number of staff to sign themselves off on long-term sickness, or ask to be moved to other departments. It’s comedy gold’.
Rishi Sunak is set to appear in the sitcom as a bumbling waiter, who is always trying to support the hopeless Raab by constantly claiming ‘I know nothing’.
No-one has been cast yet as the racist, old-school Major yet, although the new Deputy Chair of the Tory Party Lee Anderson along with a number of other Conservative MPs are thought to be interested.

Rish! Sunak’s political advisors have been at something of a loss to identify anything that will make the Prime Minister stand out from the crowd other than his diminutive stature, which isn’t the greatest asset a politician can have.
Other politicians have been able to find props that people remember, such as Michael Fabricant’s toupee, George Galloway’s wide brimmed hat or that fat bloke few wish to remember who wore scruffy suits and a carefully dishevelled haircut, so in order to make Rish! more memorable, they have drafted in fashion consultant Gok Wan, to see if he can assist with a makeover.
Newsbiscuit understands from Gok Wan that Rish! has refused the suggestions made in the initial telephone call the advisors had with Gok that Rishi could be made to look good naked, or that changing his elevator shoes to more obvious stilleto heels would be something for people to look out for.
Gok told us that Rish! will need to drop the boring Saville Row suits for something more distinctive and that possibly, if he wore pastel-coloured ten-gallon hats he would be more noticeable.
