In an audacious plan to revive his flagging popularity, the Prime Minister has announced that from tomorrow morning, all parent and child parking spaces, along with the ones allocated to the disabled, will become SUV only parking spaces.

We asked for clarification about the motivation for this move, but the civil servant we spoke to told us if we could ask her again in a few hours time, she'd be able to lets us know whether it was more than her job's worth to answer honestly. or if in a few hour's time, she was in receipt of her P45, she'd be keen to discover if her story was worth a few bob, or at least enough to be able to afford a bag of yellow-labelled pasta to feed her kids with.


Deirdrie Spigot, the civil servant we spoke to, who asked that we didn't reveal her name, but we felt obliged to when Rupert Murdoch expressed an interest in adding Newsbiscuit to his portfiloio, told us she thought is a bloody disgrace that she will now has to wheel her elderly mother from the far side of the supermarket car park to discover that her mother had forgotten what she wanted to go to the supermarket for, but enjoys shouting obscenities at people she suspects own SUVs told us she is hopeful the insanity of current government policy might end with the demise of the current leader, but is fearful of Insanity 2.0, Johnson is replaced with anyone from the cabinet.


Deirdrie's husband however, applauded the decision as the most sensible thing a government has ever done. "At last I can park my SUV in a parking space and be able to open the doors" he said.

The owner of a Land Rover near you is loving the snowy weather and is hoping for loads more, it has been confirmed.  He is, at last, enjoying the two days of the year he can use the full capability of the vehicle.


Mike McBride, a sales manager in Leeds, has been seen strolling out of his house into heavy snow, towards his huge beast of a vehicle, luxuriantly spread across 3 parking spaces, before smoothly moving off into a few inches of hard packed ice with minimal effort. 


'I live for these two days each year when the snow comes down,' admitted McBride. 'Everyone else is busting a gut with spades and grit trying to get their crappy little Clios moving without skidding all over the place, but the old Land Rover just cuts through like a knife through butter.


'I should say I’m not involved in the farming industry in any way. Nor do I shoot game where I’d need a dedicated space in my vehicle to put all the pheasant I’ve bludgeoned.


‘So, no, I have no actual need for a Land Rover. As a result, I have to spend most of my year trying to justify why I need a £75,000 vehicle to get me three miles from my suburban home to a city centre office, via a well-connected A-Road.' 


'Surprisingly, no-one has been convinced by my arguments that I genuinely need a car where the power is evenly distributed across all 4 wheels to generate my quarterly sales charts, or that the engine's powerful torque helps me and my team meet our KPIs.'   


'So, yes, on the rare occasions when we do see a bit of snowfall, of course I'm going to be out in my pride and joy from 6am, showing off its abilities to navigate ungritted side roads, effortlessly do a hill start on a cheeky bit of ice, and posting on Facebook that I'm available to give lifts to anyone stuck getting to work - even though I probably won't reply to any of the messages from all those losers with tiny one litre engines.'


McBride also confirmed his plans for the foreseeable future to drive right up other drivers' arses, and mouth instructions in a passive-aggressive manner for them to get into a higher gear and steer into skids.
