Starmer's new chief of staff: will he be able to fix a f**king pothole, asks Britain?

AS Westminster is abuzz with speculation about who will run Downing Street now, Britain asks: whoever it is, can he get me a f**king hospital appointment? 

The departure of Morgan McSweeney and director of communication Tim Allen leaves Starmer with a clean slate and, according to Britain, an opportunity to shut up about bullshit and chuck local councils some bloody funding for a change.

Tom Logan of Macclesfield said: “All this Whitehall intrigue has me asking one question: could everything involved with government stop costing loads while being shite?

“Because I give as much of a bugger about backroom staff as I do about boardroom shake-ups at Tesco, but unlike with supermarkets I live in Britain so cannot vote with my feet by going somewhere else.

“Could we get the roads workable? The trains cheaper? The water companies to take the piss less blatantly? Have GPs thought about allowing us to schedule appointments online like literally every other twat? Priorities, lads.”

Donna Sheridan of Goole agreed: “Apparently this government has done some great things I haven’t heard about. I assure you if they’d been that great, I’d have noticed.

“How about instead of an overpaid Downing Street bellend, we spend the money on letting schools have playing fields and swimming lessons again? Any f**king chance?”

A spokesman for the prime minister said: “We hear you, we get it and we’re combing top London consultancies to pay the right privately-educated man in a suit a six-figure salary.”

Conversation with Madonna at kids' football game 'bloody awkward' say other mums

PARENTS watching their children play in a under-14s game alongside fellow mum Madonna have described conversation as ‘excruciatingly uncomfortable’. 

The megastar attended the cold, miserable Sunday game to support her 13-year-old twins alongside other mothers reluctantly doing the same, but was so difficult to make small talk with that she ended up standing on her own.

55-year-old Joanna Kramer said: “I broke the ice with ‘Fancy seeing you here! I liked that Ray of Light.’ You know, meeting her halfway with one of her more recent hits.

“Nothing. Commented on the weather. Nothing. Looking back, asking ‘Is that your eldest? Mine are the same, pushing 30 and still living at home’ about the young man she was with who is apparently her lover was a mistake. Well I didn’t know.”

Fellow mother Francesca Johnson said: “I thought I’d invite her to a fundraiser we’re doing, you know, no pressure but perhaps she could make cupcakes or do a quick performance of Like A Prayer. You’d think I’d asked her to chew dung.

“I mean I only went over to have a look at what work she’s had done up close but she didn’t know that. It costs nothing to be friendly. I certainly won’t be buying any of her reissued deluxe vinyl box sets now.”

However father Nathan Muir said: “I wound up stood next to her and said ‘Aren’t you Madonna? I saw your tits in that Sex book.’ She laughed and we had a right old chat.”
