You to be prime minister soon at this rate

THE current churn rate of prime ministers means that you will be given a go in Downing Street before too long.

With the government burning through six prime ministers in a decade, studies suggest that, as unqualified as you are, you will be called upon to move into Number 10 to have a crack at running the country by 2034 at the latest.

A government spokesperson said: “We’ll have to get through all the MPs in each party first, but given how corrupt and incompetent they are that shouldn’t take long.

“By autumn anyone with a PPE degree from Oxbridge will have tried and failed, then we’ll work our way through Eton students in descending order of age. Once the 12-year-olds have had their turn it’s down to ordinary British twats like you.

“First you’ll be appointed by the King, then it’s off to speak to the press who’ll be shouting ‘Are you going to resign, prime minister?’ as you walk to the podium. 25 minutes of appeasing backbenchers, battling scandal and losing support to Reform later, it’ll be over.

“Once every bad relationship and poor financial decision you’ve ever made has been splashed across the tabloids, you’ll resign and never be thought of again except when you join the other 35,612,435 previous prime ministers at the cenotaph.

“Don’t worry about coming up with effective policies on immigration or housing. Nobody’s been arsed with that in ages.”

Silence from nation as Starmer demands he be told exactly what he did wrong

THE prime minister is standing at his Downing Street podium waiting to be told exactly what he did to deserve to be deposed, to shuffling silence. 

Rather than deliver the expected resignation speech, Keir Starmer has emerged from his home and told the country he is not going anywhere until it is explained to him why it is so urgent he be replaced by a former mayor in a black bomber jacket.

He continued: “Less than two years since I won a landslide. I’m sure you’ve got an excellent reason. I’m waiting.

“Since apparently the entire of the UK wants me to go you must have a clear set of defined reasons why that would be. Why don’t you go through them, one by one.

“Cancelling winter fuel payments? Really? An extra wedge for a wealthy segment of the population, that I anyway walked back to means-testing? Try again. Not much of a communicator? Well you’re not communicating a great deal to me right now.

“What was that? Southport, says the large gentleman at the back with a flag? A horrific event that took place less than a month into my rule that I could have done nothing to stop? Is that your best reason?

“Taxing farmers’ estates? A National Insurance rise for employers? Is that the best you’ve got? Come on, one single clear reason and I’ll go. I promise you. Out with it.”

After a lengthy pause, he said: “I can wait here all day if I have to.”
