Following the latest Prime Minister’s La-La-Can’t-Hear-You Time, fears have been expressed that the entire rictus-faced Conservative front bench are suffering from the archaic condition.


‘Tetanus symptoms include a grimly rigid expression and inability to articulate more than a weakly confirmatory “yaaargh”, even at the most rousingly rehearsed rejoinder from their embattled leader,’ confirmed a harassed GP. ‘After weeks of remaining unremittingly stony-faced in the laughable face of increasingly ridiculous party behaviour, its re-emergence across the blue benches felt inevitable. The slightest bit of dished dirt, mud on your face, or grubbing about in the mire can easily result in contracting twat-anus, to give this localised variant its correct name.


‘In extreme cases, as I believe we’re witnessing here, the conditions spreads upwards to a glassy-eyed stare, in which the more poetically inclined of us fancy we can read a desperate plea for the sweet release of death, or walk-towards-the-light visions of smoke-blowingly hagiographic Daily Mail “interviews”.’


Happier to publish their medical records than tax returns or fixed penalty notices, Tory Ministers have attempted to deny their expressions are current frozen more solidly wooden than the lacquered Cabinet table itself, with one clarifying: ‘Ert’s jssst a tmp- tmp- shrrt chnge ’n th winnnnd, yaaargh?’

Lingerie millionairess Baroness Mone has said the huge pants-fire in her lingerie factory near Slough is "unconnected" to the controversy over her lies regarding PPE. She issued a statement saying the fact the fire broke out the very moment she admitted to Laura Kuenssberg she had been lying was a "pure coincidence".

'There has been a lot of arson around and I can only put the fire down to people who want to hurt me' Baroness Mone continued. She denies that she and her husband had been arson around for nearly two years before telling the truth about their part in the PPE affair.


'The pants factory and its contents are very well insured and like any careful and successful business people, we protect our assets and stand to make a little extra to cover the expenses of the claim,' she said in an independent multi-million feature film starring Tom Cruise which she wrote, produced and directed.

'The pants factory and the film were financed by a company owned by my husband, a man who I have never met in my life. Our two children, who were conceived postally, are the ones I would go to any lengths to protect.'


It's understood that Baroness's pants-empire has now started making fireproof pants and Piers Morgan is set to publicly endorse them for an undisclosed sum of £60million.


In some unheard clips from her Kuenssberg interview Mone added:


'It's lucky I was a Conservative peer, otherwise it would have been much more difficult to recommend my husband's company to supply useless PPE and personally profit from the catastrophic outbreak of a killer disease... It is difficult being a Baroness with 60 million quid that I shouldn't have. The struggle is real - can you even buy a super yacht with that? My diamond slippers are a bit tight actually... How best to distract jaded newspaper editors from a story about public sector procurement? Well, I'm a lingerie tycoon, so, tits.'

TV personality, farmer, and spokesman for Wrangler Jeans Jeremy Clarkson revealed today he recently underwent a heart procedure, resulting in him having one fitted.


Speaking at his Oxfordshire farm, the advocate of global warming gave anxious fans an update on his condition, telling them all, "I first noticed something when we filmed with the piglets. The emotion of the situation gave me a numbness in my arm and a hollow feeling in my chest.


'Thinking it might be a brewing coronary, we ended up at hospital and a quick scan showed I actually suffer from stannum homini. I'm just so grateful that an absolute wizard of a cardiologist was there and able to fit me with a heart so I can now do things like walk on my land and enjoy Terms of Endearment.'



At the John Radcliffe hospital, lead specialist Professor Oscar Diggs elaborated on the star's treatment. "Fortunately for Mr Clarkson," he said, "with Oxfordshire being such a Tory stronghold, we are specialists in this ailment and the absence of hearts generally.


'This was stage two stannum homini, where symptoms can include writing for a right-wing newspaper, calling things you don't like 'woke' and believing your ideas are 'just common sense. Thankfully for him, he hadn't hit the later stages, so we have saved him from classic Conservative maladies like running for parliament, becoming prime minister and introducing emergency budgets."
