'We know it's not really all over for Starmer, but it's fun pretending'

THE UK has admitted they are perfectly aware Starmer will survive his current scandal, but they love seeing the rising panic on his bewildered face.

A moment’s study of what it takes to bring down a prime minister, and painful memories of the agonisingly drawn-out departure of Theresa May, means Britain knows full well this is not the end but enjoys the thought nonetheless.

Nathan Muir of Hitchin said: “Look at the bastard squirm. That’s brightened my week.

“If he resigned? With no clear successor after two years trying to rebuild our reputation as a stable country that does sane things rather than a sackful of rabid ferrets? Rationally it wouldn’t be great, but this bit’s magic.

“He’ll hardly have slept last night, bowels of pure liquid, and every newspaper headline’s making his heart pound. ‘Even the bloody Guardian?’ he’s saying in shattered disbelief.

“That’s the way we like our politicians. On the run. Terrified it’s all going to come crashing down. Desperate to please. Afraid to even appoint an ambassador to Nauru in case it f**ks up.

“We hate you, you’re a wanker and one day it really will be the end, Starmer. Days like this ensure you don’t forget it.”

Six practical steps Charli XCX can take to stop being sad and childless

AN interviewer has been criticised for questioning Charli XCX’s decision not to have children. Sadly we all know he’s right, so here’s what Charli needs to do to end her childless misery.

Borrow a baby 

If one thing is going to change Charli’s mind, it’s experiencing the joy of motherhood with a baby loaned by a friend or fan. Constant exhaustion, the blood-curdling contents of nappies, relentless screaming – all of these will be wonderful and fulfilling things for Charli because she’s a woman.

Ditch the party music

Is her career stopping Charli having a baby? That’s understandable because songs like 365 and Club Classics are inspired by her party lifestyle. The obvious solution is to write hits about the daily grind of looking after small children instead. Songs like 365 (Feeling Tired Mix) or Peppa Pig Classics, from her new album Mum.

Spend time with childless women

All of Britain’s childless women lead solitary, depressing lives in dusty lodgings filled with creepy porcelain dolls, cat litter trays and bitterness. Charli will realise that spinsterhood is not for her simply by visiting one at random.

Think about when she’s old

Without children, Charli won’t have grandchildren to alleviate the crushing tedium of old age, which is just drinking tea and going to the doctor’s. And who will grudgingly visit her when she’s senile and doubly incontinent and forced to move into a care home? At 33 these are issues Charli needs to be thinking about.

Watch supermarket adverts featuring families

Supermarket adverts accurately portray the endless happiness of family life. Magical Christmases, love and laughter-filled gatherings, even pushing a trolley round f**king Asda is pure unbridled joy if you’ve got a family. Charli should be aware of this.

Respect the natural order

Nature is clear about babies. Females are designed to keep popping them out, even if sex is unpleasant like it is for lady cats. The male’s role is to provide for the female, but he should impregnate others too. Charli is already married to the drummer of The 1975, so they’re ideally positioned for her to be a housewife while he’s out shagging groupies. Nature would approve.
