This is a disappointing result for Labour, says media twat trying to spin it all out

AN electoral expert with a mortgage to pay has claimed two by-election wins with huge swings is a very worrying result for Labour.

Denys Finch Hatton, who needs to make some f**king bank this year, believes the second-biggest fall in the Conservative vote in the post-war period is proof the general election will be tight and his services should not be dispensed with just yet.

He said: “Seeing this as a done deal for Starmer would be very short-sighted. A lot could still happen. This dog ain’t dead yet.

“For example, I could say things about voter turnout, or Reform UK, or stuff like that thing I’ve already said about the second-biggest fall in post-war votes. That was pretty good. You’re not going to come up with that on your own.

“Statements like ‘the Tories don’t have a chance’ or ‘Labour have got this in the bag, turn off the swingometer and go home, mate’ don’t comprehend the half of it. Actually at this stage anything could happen. Rishi hasn’t unveiled his crappy little tax cuts yet.

“And people aren’t that into Starmer. They’re not wearing Starmer T-shirts or anything. There’s a marked lack of enthusiasm for Labour I’m willing to discuss at length. Please.”

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said: “Look at this face. Do I come across to you as someone who does now or has ever given a f**k about enthusiasm?”

Betting or cars: The last five remaining types of TV advert

STREAMING has killed live TV, and it’s taken all the good adverts with it. If you’re one of the holdouts with a Freeview box, here are the rubbish ads you’ll be forced to watch.

Betting

Don’t let the bleak Gamble Aware warning fool you, betting is fun, sociable and a great source of income, whether it’s sparkly bingo, sexy poker, or plain old blokey sports. Ads like Foxy Bingo sometimes have a crap animated character encouraging you to fritter your life savings on games of chance. If that’s your benchmark for good advice you deserve everything you get, frankly.  

Cars and perfume

These are in the same category as they are the only two products that reach the pinnacle of ad wankery: trying to be cinematic. Where’s the honesty? It should be: ‘Pretty reliable, looks okay, doesn’t show dents’, or ‘Smells faintly of kitchen spray but cheaper than the Gucci stuff.’

European food

The most inelegant dubbing you’ve ever heard, over partially animated jokes that clearly got lost in translation. Are you convinced by this Bavarian Euro-chef pretending the chocolate comes from his kitchen, not a factory on the outskirts of Munich? No. But you’ll still buy one of their cheapo Easter Eggs. These ads invariably include horrifically unnatural dialogue that makes the actors sound like androids: ‘Mmm! It’s the taste we all like from Rostini!’

Sofa

Whether they’re working-class black leather or middle-class green velvet, the sofas are all equally extortionate in price, but Big Sofa wants your cash. Watch as too-good-looking families flop onto cushions of all shapes and sizes, and resolve to buy a new one in five to ten years. Keep putting it off until your existing sofa looks as if it’s already at the tip.

Chemicals

You may not be aware that your house is so filthy you are moments away from death. Or you are according to a pretty blonde lady in a white shirt. She’ll say it in a sweet voice, but the clear message is that if you don’t buy her bleach, your children will die. After seeing this advert with the blanket of germs on every surface helpfully shown as computer graphics, it’s nothing short of a miracle that you all survived this long. You should start going to church.
