Work in politics. Here to provide political and societal witticisms…or the closest equivalent I can manage. Mainly UK, European and US politics, although I’m an equal opportunities satirist. Also an amateur - and slightly experimental - cook.

Stand firm, and charge Nigel Farage for treason for betraying the UK every single chance he gets.

There is absolutely nothing dignified about the current US Administration. Not a single, solitary thing.

When we want advice from Blair on the Middle East, we’ll find a way to show it - probably by collectively suffering serious brain injuries and losing the power of rational thought…

Make up your fucking mind, you demented orange cunt.

What the fuck do you know about wars anyway - which wars did you fight in?

Stonewall red card. Citing and ban surely incoming (or at least there should be if there’s any justice, which there isn’t)

Boris Johnson should be listened to on foreign policy about as much as Liz Truss is listened to on economic affairs.

And the mystery as to why Iranians aren’t surrendering en masse, waving US flags, or asking to become the new Venezuela, continues…

Some people are also walking around and giving press conferences without brains.

A Labour source said: “A slow handclap for those self-appointed strategic geniuses who ridicule Labour values and think we can afford to sacrifice our core vote by mimicking the performative cruelty of Suella Braverman.”

Well at least one person gets it. Probably too late to be getting it though.

The nicotine-stained sock puppet in town to promote the national interest. The nation in question just isn’t the UK.

Given that the rival bidder for the Telegraph was the Daily Mail, I still think this is a win (and Axel Springer do have some respectable publications).

Plus we also get to witness and enjoy the squirming of British right-wingers due to one of their flagship newspapers being in German hands.

I personally blame Sadiq Khan - it’s always been his secret agenda to impose Sharia law on the Emiratis, and to target those who have reasonably and cleverly arranged their tax affairs there…

Just once, I’d like to see politicians focus on calling out what is illegal, immoral, inhumane or unethical rather than what is unpatriotic.

Crazy, I know, but maybe just give it a try.

The UK and a great many others answered an American call in its hour of need before, and the memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice was insulted by the current President and Vice President.

We don’t forget, and we don’t forgive.

I’m assuming each post is a fixed term appointment of about five days, after which the post-holder is expected to defect to one of the other right-wing nutjob parties, or to stand down in disgrace for racism/misogyny/fraud…?

Yes, well he might take vast donations from shady billionaires to sell out every single aspect of British life, but he sometimes wears a flat cap and goes to the pub for a pint, so I think it’s clear whose side he’s really on…
