A SLENDER branch from the Magic Money Tree has been gifted to Rwanda for taking away asylum seekers, it has emerged.
The tree, which can be found in the Downing Street garden and gives off a shimmering, affluent glow, could easily afford to spare a tiny offshoot worth a mere £100 million.
Magic Money Tree cultivator Rishi Sunak said: “Despite claims that there is no Magic Money Tree, including by me, it does frequently pop into existence. It’s mysterious.
“So now there are suddenly ample funds and it would be stupid not to splash some of the excess cash on this universally-adored policy.
“I simply popped into the garden, reached for a small twiglet, and snapped it off with my bare hands. In the grand scheme of things you wouldn’t even notice it was missing.
“Of course Labour must never be allowed anywhere near the Magic Money Tree. They’d hack it down to the root then it’ll be gone forever. I’m taking much better care of it, so Suella Braverman and my backbenchers can back the f**k off.”
A spokesperson for the Rwandan government said: “Good to know it’s no biggie. We’ll need a few extra million in a couple of months.”
