Chancellor of the Exchequer for this week, Jeremy Hunt, has entered his third day of not blinking. 'He hasn't closed his eyes to sleep,' pointed out a close ally.

An alternative rumour is that Jeremy Hunt is dead, hence why he hasn't blinked for three days. Upon hearing this the markets rose instantly.
